Appearance- Stink bugs are easily identified by their large, shield shaped bodies. Some will grow up to 2 cm long. Adult stink bugs are most commonly brown or green in color. Stink bugs can fly but will keep their wings folded against their bodies when not in flight.
Behavior - Stink bugs in Washington DC & Virginia are not only unsightly and have an awful smell, but they also ruin agricultural crops and homeowners' gardens. Although they do not sting, these pests emit their unpleasant odor when they are disturbed.
Stink bugs live outdoors in Washington DC & Virginia, but occasional indoor stink bug infestations can occur in large masses in the fall, once they begin making their way indoors as the weather turns cooler. Once indoors, they will begin reproducing. They'll hide out in crawl spaces and other areas and begin emerging in the spring to begin making their way back outside in masses.
The more stink bugs you see flying around inside your home or hanging outside of your residence on your walls, the more likely you have a stink bug infestation and will need to call for stink bug control.
If you have a garden in Washington DC & Virginia, your home is more likely to have a stink bug issue once they make their way into your home. Also, having a lot of trees and bushes on your property can entice stink bugs to take up residence outside before moving inside once the weather cools.
Thus, before beginning treatment for stink bugs, make sure all possible entry points are sealed well. Stink bugs most commonly use gaps in outdoor home siding, cracks under doors and around window frames as entry points.
After getting a smell of a stink bug, you can understand why they have no natural predators, which leads to a surplus population of stink bugs.
Stink bugs will ruin your garden, and their presence in a home is extremely unpleasant to see and to smell. They can incessantly fly around your head both inside and outside your home, and while this poses no physical threat, it can be annoying.
At the first sign of a stink bug, call in trained local Washington DC & Virginia stink bug control technicians to treat your current stink bug issues and prevent further infestations.
