Stink Bug Control
Say Goodbye to Stink Bug problems!
Stink bugs, particularly the brown marmorated stink bug, are a common nuisance for homeowners. These pests are known for their distinctive odor and can invade homes in large numbers, especially during the fall months.
Why Do Stink Bugs Come to Homes?
Stink bugs are attracted to homes primarily in search of warmth and shelter as temperatures drop. They tend to enter through cracks and openings around windows, doors, and vents. Their presence often signals that they are seeking a place to hibernate during the colder months.
Seasonal Habits of Stink Bugs
Spring: As temperatures rise, stink bugs emerge from hibernation and become active. They may be seen congregating on sunny sides of buildings.
Summer: During this time, they feed on fruits and vegetables in gardens and orchards, posing a threat to crops. Late summer or early fall is the ideal time to treat for stink bugs.
Fall: Stink bugs begin to seek shelter indoors, leading to increased sightings in homes as they look for a place to hibernate.
Winter: They remain dormant inside homes but can become active if temperatures rise, leading to potential winter sightings. This can lead to homeowners believing that more are coming into the home or are even reproducing, but neither of these are true. There is only a finite number of individuals in the structure and they do not reproduce inside of a home.
Strategies for Homeowners to Reduce Stink Bugs
Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and vents. Use caulk or weather stripping to seal these openings.
Use Screens: Install screens on windows and doors to prevent stink bugs from entering while allowing fresh air in.
Outdoor Maintenance: Trim back shrubs and trees near your home to reduce hiding spots for stink bugs. Remove any debris or clutter around your yard.
