Common Stink Bugs Issues

Stink bugs are not threatening to humans, but they can be a nuisance by damaging gardens and ornamental plants. They are common home invaders, with large numbers slipping through cracks around entry points—particularly during the fall. These insects release an unpleasant odor when they are threatened, and their foul smell can worsen when they are crushed.

Stink Bugs Threats

True to their name, stink bugs emit a foul smell when threatened or harmed. This makes them quite a nuisance, though they’re not seriously threatening to humans. Stink bugs also damage plants and gardens, and they tend to die inside light fixtures, causing the surrounding room to reek with their glandular odors.

Detecting Stink Bugs

Stink bugs are easy to identify with their signature shield-shaped torso. They also tend to invade in large numbers. So, if you see one stink bug, you’re likely about to find a lot more. Inside, these pests are typically around doors, windows and other entry points. Outside, stink bugs like to sunbathe on the sides of buildings.

Preventing Stink Bugs

Eliminating entry points is your best bet for preventing stink bugs from infiltrating your home or business. Make sure to seal windows and doors, and ensure all screens are securely in place without tears. Using weather stripping on doors can also help keep these smelly pests out.

How Do I Get Rid Of Stink Bugs?

Seal cracks around windows, doors, outlets, ceiling fans, & light switches. Replace outdoor lighting with yellow bulbs, which are less attractive to stink bugs. Use a vacuum to eliminate stink bugs indoors. Seal the vacuums’ contents in a plastic bag and dispose of it immediately.
