Stink bugs may be tiny, but they can cause a big stink in your home. The insects measure just under ¾ inch long and are usually green or brown in color. Although stink bugs are harmless, effective stink bug control can keep your home from developing unpleasant odors throughout the spring and summer.
Natural stink bug control can eliminate the bugs from your home without the use of toxic substances, and includes handpicking or vacuuming the bugs from around the doorways, windows and vents of your home. Removing stink bugs by hand requires patience and attention to detail. Stink bug control measures can become compromised very quickly if the insects are handled roughly or smashed during removal. The stink bug will then release its potent odor as a defense, rendering your home unusually smelly for up to six months.
Protect your house from future stink bug problems by placing screens on your windows and covering heating ducts and vents with mesh. Take action with natural or chemical elimination methods immediately upon infestation to avoid widespread problems with odor.
