Frequently Asked Questions
Why do stink bugs invade in fall?
Stink bugs are seeking sheltered overwintering sites as temperatures drop. Your warm, sunny walls attract them, and they squeeze through tiny gaps to hibernate in wall voids and attics. They emerge on warm winter days confused by indoor heat.
Will stink bugs damage my home?
Stink bugs don't cause structural damage, bite, or breed indoors. They're strictly nuisance pests that overwinter in homes and emerge in spring to return outdoors. Their defensive odor when crushed or disturbed is the primary concern.
Why do Alburgh homes have more stink bugs problems?
Alburgh's proximity to water creates humidity that stink bugs thrive in. We address both the immediate infestation and the underlying moisture conditions that attract these pests.
