Stink Bugs Pest Control: Smelly Nuisance Pests

While not dangerous, stink bugs have certainly earned their unpleasant reputation over the past couple decades as invasive pests. Originally from Asia, the brown marmorated stink bug has spread rapidly across the United States, becoming a nuisance especially when they invade homes and buildings seeking overwintering shelter.

As their name implies, stink bugs release an awful odor when threatened or crushed as a defense mechanism. When large numbers of these shield-shaped bugs start clustering inside wall voids, attics, or living spaces, the smell can be overpowering. Stink bugs contaminate surfaces with their feces and can potentially damage crops and vegetation.
