A Word About Stink Bugs

If you need to know how to kill Stink Bugs, you first need to know how they got here. As you may have heard, Stink Bugs have been imported from Asia to Allentown and have now spread all over Pennsylvania, and bordering states. The Pa. Dept. of Ag, farmers, and the pest control industry are watching to see what the threat will pose long term. For now, we are learning about their habits here in the northeast. Like no other pest, these Stink Beasts seem to be more a persistent invader than any other insects that we currently contend with on a broad scale. As we continue to monitor their behavior here, the pest control industry is adjusting treating methods not only to control them after they have entered a structure, but treat with the intent to prevent them from entering a structure before they can invade the living/working areas.

If you currently are seeing Stink Buggers on the inside of your home or business, they may be simply entering around the doors or windows. In more severe cases, Stink Bugs may be entering around window-mounted air conditioning units, or come down the chimneys and entering through the fireplace. In the worst cases, Stink Bugs may even be "Overwintering" in the walls and emerging from outlets, fixtures, or paneling.

To stop them I recommend having your home treated quarterly. Most homes will have signs of Stink Bugs in the spring and fall, however they may be sun-bathing on the house even in summer months and pick entry points in the fall. Due to the eventual break-down of chemicals, quarterly treatments seem to be the best option for continual control. While some of the national companies are claiming that there is nothing that you can do about Stink Bugs, there are pest control companies that are proactive and implementing strategies that will provide year-round protection against these aggressive invaders. To get Stinkers under control, find a company that is willing to powerspray once a quarter, and within a short amount of time, you should be Stink bug free.
