Why Stink Bugs Are More Than Smelly
They sneak in when you least expect it
As temperatures drop, stink bugs look for warm spots to overwinter. That often means attics, crawl spaces, or behind siding. Once inside, they don’t reproduce—but they do gather in large numbers.
Their smell isn’t only unpleasant—it lingers
Crush a stink bug, and you’ll find out why they got their name. The odor they release can linger on fabrics, walls, and furniture, making removal tricky.
They gather in groups
You might only see one or two at first, but stink bugs release a pheromone that attracts more of their kind. That’s how a minor problem turns into a serious stink bug problem.
They’re hard to seal out
These bugs can fit through tiny gaps in siding, around window frames, and through vents. Without good sealing and regular checkups, you’ll likely see them return each fall.
Signs You’ve Got a Stink Bug Infestation
Here are key indicators to watch for:
Bugs sunning themselves on walls and windows
Stink bugs are attracted to warmth. If you’re seeing them cluster on the sunny side of your home, it’s a sign they’re looking for a way inside.
A musty or pungent odor indoors
If you’ve crushed a few stink bugs or pets have gotten to them, the smell will be hard to miss. It’s a clear sign that stink bugs are already inside.
Dead bugs are collecting in attics or window sills
Many homeowners find stink bugs in attics, basements, or stuck between window panes. These aren’t isolated incidents; they’re signs it’s time for a stink bug inspection.
Noises in walls or ceilings
On warmer winter days, stink bugs become active and may move around behind walls or drop from ceilings.

Testimonials
“Jason came out to provide a termite estimate. Due to his confidence, knowledge, and professionalism I hired him on the spot. About an hour later he had us set up to begin exterminating our termites with monitoring stations. I went with Pest Pros not because they offered the lowest cost estimate, but because of Jason.”
