Stink Bug Infestations
Stink bugs are often considered a nuisance because the smell they release when threatened can last for up to 3 hours, and if numerous bugs release the odour, your house can become very unpleasant.
Spraying the interior of your home before they make their way inside is highly recommended. Once they are inside, it is a much more difficult problem to solve. Ask your technician about a preventative spray.
Why Are Stink Bugs Inside My House?
When the weather gets a little colder, the insects search for a home to overwinter in hopes of surviving until Spring. They’re attracted to light, so leaving your porch light on may help them find their way to your house. Once they reach your doorstep, their flat bodies allow them to sneak into the house through the smallest of openings in doors, screens, and windows.
Will Stink Bugs Cause Damage?
Structurally speaking, stink bugs are primarily a nuisance pest, meaning they do not pose a threat to the structure of your home, nor are they known to carry any diseases. The primary concern with this species is their smell. When a stink bug feels threatened, it will release an unpleasant odour, which attracts more bugs.
However, if you grow fruits or vegetables, they may be more than a nuisance. Brown marmorated stink bugs, among others, feed on berries, Asian pears, chokecherries, and grapes, but have also been known to attack vegetables and ornamental plants.
Will Stink Bugs Go Away on Their Own?
Luckily, they do prefer to be outside, so once spring nears and the weather starts to get a little warmer, the smelly guests usually make their way back outside on their own. Unfortunately, once a stink bug decides your house is worthy of its winter vacation, they release a scent that tells other stink bugs about the great location, inviting them all over for the winter.
