Stink Bug Control
Lasting Relief from Nuisance Stink Bugs
As the seasons change, homeowners often face an unwelcome houseguest: the stink bug. These pests gather in large numbers on the sunny sides of buildings, looking for a way inside to survive the winter. Their presence is a nuisance, and the odor they release is unpleasant.
Since 1985, Enviro-Tech Pest Services has provided homeowners with effective pest management solutions. We focus on preventing stink bugs from entering your home in the first place. Our experienced team uses an environmentally conscious approach designed to create a protective barrier around your property, stopping the invasion before it starts.

How Stink Bugs Get Into Your Home
Stink bugs are masters at finding their way indoors as temperatures drop. Their primary goal is to find a warm, sheltered place to wait out the winter, and unfortunately, our homes provide the perfect refuge. Understanding their methods of entry is the first step in keeping them out.
These pests can flatten their bodies to squeeze through surprisingly small openings. Common entry points include:
- Cracks and crevices in the foundation or siding.
- Gaps around window and door frames.
- Unscreened attic vents or gable vents.
- Openings where utility lines and pipes enter the house.
- Torn window screens or doors that do not seal properly.
- Items brought inside from outdoors, such as firewood or potted plants.
Once inside, they often hide within walls, attics, and crawl spaces, emerging on warm days or in the spring. Sealing these potential entryways is a key part of an effective control strategy, but it can be difficult to find them all on your own.
Our Stink Bug Control Approach
At Enviro-Tech Pest Services, our strategy for stink bug management is proactive. We focus on exterior treatments applied at the right time of year to prevent these pests from ever making their way inside your home. Our process is designed to be thorough, effective, and environmentally sensitive.
Our approach to stink bug control includes these steps:
- Property Inspection: Our technicians will inspect the exterior of your home to identify common stink bug gathering spots and potential entry points. This helps us understand the specific pressure points on your property.
- Preventative Exterior Treatment: The most critical step is applying a treatment around the exterior perimeter of your home. We perform this service in the late summer or early fall, just before stink bugs begin their search for winter shelter. This application creates a barrier that deters them from landing on and entering your house.
- Entry Point Recommendations: Following our treatment, we provide you with professional advice on how to seal common entry points. Simple measures like repairing screens and caulking gaps can make a significant difference in long-term prevention.
By focusing on the exterior, we reduce the need for interior applications and provide a more complete solution to this seasonal problem.
The Value of Professional Stink Bug Prevention
When faced with a swarm of stink bugs on the side of your house, it is tempting to try DIY sprays. However, these solutions are often ineffective against such large numbers and do little to create the lasting barrier needed to keep them out for the entire season.
