It starts with one or two on the window screen. Then a few more on the sunny side of the house. Before you know it, Stink Bugs are crawling out of your fireplace and vents. Once they are inside, they are incredibly difficult to control because they hide deep within wall voids.
The Strategy: Total Exclusion You cannot effectively treat stink bugs after they are inside your walls without opening up drywall. The battle must be won outside.
1. Seal the Gaps Use high-quality silicone caulk to seal cracks around window frames, door jams, and siding. Install screens over attic vents and chimney caps.
2. Turn Down the Lights Stink bugs are attracted to light. Keep outdoor lights off or switch to yellow sodium vapor bulbs, which are less attractive to insects.
3. The Professional Barrier Exclusion is hard work, and it’s easy to miss a spot. That’s where we come in.
