🪲 Frequently Asked Questions - Stink Bug Control Services in Hagerstown
Stink bugs, particularly the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), are shield-shaped insects that emit a foul odor when disturbed. Native to Asia, BMSBs were first detected in the U.S. in the late 1990s and have since become a significant pest in Maryland. They seek warmth indoors during colder months, often entering through small cracks and crevices.
Preventing stink bugs from entering your home involves:
-
Sealing cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and foundations.
-
Installing door sweeps and repairing damaged screens.
-
Using weather stripping on doors and windows.
-
Turning off outdoor lights at night, as stink bugs are attracted to them.
These measures can significantly reduce the likelihood of infestations.
-
Yes, you can remove stink bugs manually by:
-
Gently capturing them with a tissue or container.
-
Vacuuming them up using a vacuum with a bag (dispose of the bag immediately to prevent odor).
-
Avoiding crushing them, as this releases their foul odor.
For larger infestations, professional pest control services are recommended.
-
Stink bugs do not bite or transmit diseases to humans. However, they can cause damage to crops and ornamental plants by feeding on them. While they don't directly harm your home, their presence can be a nuisance, especially when they seek shelter indoors during colder months.
Professional treatment includes:
-
Conducting a thorough inspection to identify entry points and infestation levels.
-
Applying targeted treatments, such as foggers in attics and crawl spaces.
-
Sealing identified entry points to prevent future invasions.
-
Providing recommendations for ongoing prevention.
These services are typically backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
