Can You Control Stink Bugs?

Q. Can you provide stink bug control?

A. The answer is yes! Stink bugs can be controlled by using perimeter spraying. The key to stink bug control is prevention.

The stink bugs were accidentally introduced to Allentown, PA.  From there, they spread to many states, including NJ, MD, VA, and even as far as FL.  People want to know if they are going to go away.  That answer is no!  And stink bug control is something that everyone is giong to need eventually if you live near crops of any kind.  Think this is extreme?  Since they arrived in 1998, they have spread like wildfire.  In 2010, they ate 30% of the crops in PA according the PA Dept. of Ag.  They are just getting started.

So let’s talk about stink bug control.  If the stinkers are already in your home, you will need to have professional pest control products used.  If you live in Lancaster or York PA, you may call Dominion Pest Control directly to have them service your home.

All About Stink Bugs

Stink Bugs have arrived! Within the last decade they have been imported to Allentown, and now they are in Lancaster and York, PA! Named for the terrible odor they give when crushed, stink bugs are here to stay. They seem to find their way into homes with little effort, and have now become a pest we need to control.

The easiest way for us to control stink bugs is to powerspray the perimeter of a home or structure, and focus on areas where they can penetrate into the interior walls. It is not uncommon for a stink bug to hitch-hike on a body into the house, but if you are seeing them in the winter that is not when they got in. Sadly, they are already in your walls, you just don’t know it. Stink bugs will sun-bathe on the south side of your home if you live in Lancaster or York, PA, and then press in around areas such as windows, doors, utility service lines, dryer vents, outside faucets, etc. Confused by the extreme difference in temperature between the inside and outside of your wall, stink bugs will press in to where they think summer is—the inside of your home!
