Problems with Stinkbugs 

Stinkbugs are an invasive species that have been in the U.S. since the 1990s. These pests typically look for a warm place to spend the winter, which can cause them to enter homes during fall.

Stinkbugs aren’t able to sting, and they won’t bite you. They also don’t carry any diseases or cause severe damage to homes. However, these pests can invade homes in very large numbers, making it difficult to eliminate them. They also give off a foul odor when their body is crushed, which can linger on surfaces in your home.

Handling a Stinkbug Problem

What should you do if you find stinkbugs in your home as the weather gets cooler? Since infestations can be large, you should have professional pest control technicians inspect your home and treat it for these bugs.

Professional stinkbug control helps ensure that they’re eliminated completely from your home without leaving any lingering odors. If you do try to kill them yourself, keep in mind that you should avoid crushing them.
