Stink bugs seek shelter in homes as winter approaches

As winter approaches, stink bugs are seeking warm places to stay, often entering homes through small openings. They can fit through gaps as tiny as a tenth of an inch, making it easy for them to get inside. Pest control experts recommend sealing windows and doors to prevent stink bugs from entering. They suggest using pesticides around the home’s perimeter to deter the bugs before they can get inside. If stink bugs do enter, homeowners can remove them gently to avoid releasing their odor. Once inside, they may return the following year, as they leave a scent that attracts more stink bugs.
