What’s That Smell? What To Know About Stink Bugs This Winter


Stink bugs aren’t a danger to you and your family as far as illnesses or venom go, but they can cause other problems, including foul odors. These pests won’t invade your food either, although they can damage your home. Having a stink bug infestation usually requires professional pest control in Monmouth County.

Why Stink Bugs Invade

Stink bugs can enter homes when they’re searching for somewhere warm and safe to go for winter. They typically hide inside empty spaces, such as in walls, until spring comes. When you see them in your home, keep in mind that there could be many more lurking in areas you can’t see.

Handling a Stink Bug Problem

How should you deal with stink bugs? If you have these brown, shield-shaped pests in your home, you should avoid squashing them at all costs. Doing this releases the foul odor that they get their name from. Instead, you can use a vacuum to catch them, as long as you empty the bag right away.

Putting stink bugs in soapy water also kills them without squashing them. Our professional pest control technicians should come into your home to eliminate bugs that might be in hiding to ensure they’re all gone.
