Stink bugs are a common pest that brings an obnoxious odor and often hundreds of friends into your home. Having a house full of stink bugs – stinks! It is hard to know what to do when you find many of them. If you squish them, they leave a stain and a nasty smell. If you try DIY treatments, they eventually come right back.

What Are Stink Bugs?

There are many variations of stink bugs in the U.S. They are brown and generally larger than other bugs. Most of them are shaped like shields. They feed on outdoor vegetation and prefer to live outside. But when temperatures begin to drop, stink bugs look for a warm place to spend the winter. The warmth of a home is what typically draws them inside.

Stink bugs aren’t dangerous – they don’t bite or cause property damage. But they do release a foul-smelling odor when they feel threatened. They are often seen during the fall and spring months and typically gather around windows and walls for warmth. Once they infest your home, they are tough to get rid of.

Signs of a Stink Bug Infestation

Just because you find a few stink bugs hanging out in your home isn’t necessarily a sign of an infestation. However, signs of an infestation are relatively obvious. They generally occur in the fall and will come out in large quantities. You will likely see them gathered in areas where the sun comes in, such as around your windows and doors.
