Stink Bug Control

While stink bugs aren’t native to Connecticut, they are becoming more and more common with each passing year. Experts say that the changing weather and increase in warmth in the region are bringing more stink bugs to Hartford and the surrounding areas.

Stink bugs seek the warmth of the indoors, so they are often found inside homes, particularly in the cooler regions of the country. These pests seem to disappear during the winter, but they often reappear in droves during the spring and early summer.

Here at Mosquito Squad, we pride ourselves on not only minimizing mosquitoes around your property, but also on reducing other annoying pests in your outdoor spaces. We have a great deal of experience with stink bug control across the US, and we are available to help you combat these stinky insects.

Do Stink Bugs Really Stink?

Stink bugs do actually stink—but only sometimes. When they are left alone, they typically don’t smell at all. But when threatened or killed, stink bugs can emit a foul odor that you definitely don’t want to experience. Because of this, getting rid of stink bugs can be a bit difficult, particularly for homeowners who tend to default to squashing any and all bugs they see.

How to Minimize Stink Bugs in CT

If you come across these pests in or around your Hartford home or office, it is advised that you do not kill them by squishing them. Instead, you can scoop them into a cup or onto a piece of paper and move them outdoors. If that gives you the creepy crawlies, there are some quick and easy DIY ways to take care of these stinkers.

Soapy water is a stink bug’s worst nightmare, so you can often spray them with it and they’ll no longer be an issue. Another option is to mix up some soapy water into a cup and add some vinegar for extra potency. If you hold the cup underneath the stink bug, it will typically drop right into it on its own and quickly drown.

Another important part of stink bug control is making your home unattractive to stink bugs. Sealing up windows and doors and ensuring your foundation is secure can prevent them from entering your property in the first place.

If these DIY methods are not an option for you or if you simply have too many stink bugs around for them to be feasible, Mosquito Squad can help! Our stink bug control treatments will take care of stink bugs around your property by minimizing the ones that are already there and deterring others from coming into your area.
