Keep Stink Bugs Out This Fall

You know those ugly brown bugs that stink when you squish them? You may know them as stink bugs because of the associated, but they are actually called Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs. Although they may stink they’re not harmful to your home…just annoying!

Here’s what those living in high-risk areas can do if stink bugs start threatening to take over their home.

Refrain from squishing them.

Stink bugs excrete a foul when they feel that they are in danger. Instead, try to get it to climb onto a tissue of a piece of paper and brush it off outside. If you have an infestation of stink bugs, you should use a vacuum hose to collect the insects. Make sure to dispose of the vacuum bag once you have collected them.

Prevent entry.

The best way to deal with a any pest problem is to prevent one from occurring in the first place. Stinkbugs become a big problem in the fall because they are looking for warm shelter.

Make sure to seal off typical points of entry, check outside and inside for cracks and holes in your home and garages.

Call and Extermatrim professional if a serious stink bug infestation occurs.

As we mentioned earlier, stink bugs seek shelter in numbers when temperatures turn cool. If you have had problems in the past, start preparing your home now by calling an Extermatrim pest professional to come out and spray.
