There’s nothing quite so delightful as sitting down to a well-earned movie at the end of a long day … and finding stink bugs in your living room.
Oh wait; that’s not delightful at all. Unfortunately for you, the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) does not care about your movie, and has in fact taken over much of the United States in its relentless spread from Asia. So the question is: What can you do about it?
Fall: When Stinkbugs Move Indoors
Fall is a particularly bad time for stinkbugs, because they move indoors in response to colder weather. Most find their way in through cracks in doors or windows, so sealing both is a good first step. However, this often isn’t enough, because they can also find entrance through basements and attics, which are harder to secure.
While the bugs do not bite and are more of a nuisance than anything, they do eat produce. They also produce a nasty smell, so be wary of smashing them. A better bet is to return them to the outdoors, though that’s typically a losing battle. What’s a homeowner to do?
