Our Treatment Approach
Natural-first solutions that actually work
Physical removal and exclusion are primary strategies. Diatomaceous earth at entry points. Sticky traps near windows capture invaders. Essential oil sprays with mint deter landing. We seal entry points before fall invasion season. Vacuum collection without crushing. For Bolton's older structures, we inspect foundations and wall voids where pests commonly harbor.

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.
Can you treat stink bugs in Bolton's historic homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in treating older Bolton properties using methods that won't damage historic materials. Our targeted approach eliminates pests while preserving your home's character.
