If you are having a problem getting rid of stink bugs, you are not alone. If you live in anywhere in Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, and now Lancaster PA, you will need to know how to kill stink bugs. It has become a way of life.
Stink bugs have been introduced to eastern United States about ten years ago. Regrettably, they have come here from Asia. If you ever wondered why you are not able to take fruit on the international flights, now you know. Too bad it was just a matter of time for stink bugs to come.
The good news is that you can get rid of stink bugs! I do not mean that you can eliminate them from your neighborhood, but you can stop them and keep them "dying at the door", so to say. Now the national pest control companies are saying that there is nothing that you can do about getting rid of stink bugs, and that simply just is not true. There are many local pest control companies that have mastered the art of killing the stinkers before they enter your home, which leads into our study of how to get rid of stink bugs.
The key to killing the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, is to treat the outside of your home with a general spray insecticide that is micro-encapsulated. This means that the "bug spray" has a protective bubble around the active ingredient so it is protected against sunlight and moisture. Most micro-cap insecticides last about 2-3 months, which is longer than anything you may purchase at the hardware store.
When treating for stink bugs with a micro-encapsulated product, it is important to treat all areas on the outside of your home that allow heat to escape. This could be wall or window mounted air conditioners, vents, eaves, attic vents, roof vents, and cracks in walls. On the inside you may want to treat around windows, around the fireplace, and other entry points. Make sure to always follow the label, local and state regulations.
Something that local pest control companies are learning, is that stink bugs have an ability to find heat sources, unlike other bugs. As an example, boxelder beetles will sunbath on the south side of the home and then enter in the fall. Stink bugs, however will not just stick to the south side. They will go anywhere that has heat on the home. That could include going down the chimney! It sounds bizarre, but I see it all the time. As I mentioned before, wall mounted air conditioners will leak heat, the the stink bugs will "huddle" around the compressor unit. And the problem with the roof vents, is that it is a highway right in the attic. Stink bugs love the attic because it gets super hot during the day. In fact, they are not supposed to emerge until June, but if stink bugs were "over-wintering" in your attic, they may even become active in March!
Getting rid of stink bugs is possible, but not easy. The key is prevention. So do not become discouraged, just make sure to treat every three months around the outside of your home, especially in the fall.
