Stink bugs are characterized by their wide shield-shaped body in various shades of brown. They are typically most active during the warmer months and hide in attics or walls during the winter. Stink bugs find their way into your home through tiny cracks, attic vents, and open doors. These pests are attracted to damp, bright, and warm places in your home.
They can fly and hang out in recessed lights, vents, and high-moisture areas. In addition to their foul odor, stink bugs leave a trail of feces. If stink bugs are in your home, you will likely find them dead or alive. Because these pests feed on leaves and stems, you frequently see them feasting on house plants.

Stink bugs are not dangerous to humans, as they do not bite or sting. However, they are a nuisance pest and release a strong, unpleasant odor when threatened or crushed. This odor can linger for about an hour outdoors and longer if crushed inside. While they don’t pose a direct health risk, they are potentially devastating agricultural pests and can damage any plants you have inside or outdoors. In rare cases, pets that ingest large numbers of stink bugs may experience digestive issues, and contact with their defensive odor may cause mild irritation or allergic reactions. If you come into contact with the fluid, it’s best to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.
Stink bugs release a strong, distinctive odor when they feel threatened, are handled, or are crushed. Specialized glands in their abdomen produce this defensive scent, which contains volatile compounds that deter potential threats. While generally harmless, the smell is unpleasant and lingering. The trained technicians at My Pest Pros develop strategies to eliminate stink bugs from your home while minimizing exposure to the pungent odor
Stink bugs are most active in late summer and early fall, when they search for warm places to shelter as temperatures begin to drop. During this time, they may enter homes through small cracks and openings. Stink bugs are generally active during the daytime, especially on warm, sunny days. Once indoors, they tend to gather near windows, walls, and attics, where heat and light are most noticeable, as they look for a protected place to spend the winter.
Stink bugs can enter homes through cracks and crevices in windows and doors, gaps in the foundation and attic, and under siding. These pests may also arrive by hitching a ride on firewood, plants, or other items brought indoors, especially as they seek warmth and shelter during the colder months.
When dealing with more than just a few stink bugs, fully eliminating them through DIY methods can be difficult. For long-lasting results, it’s best to contact a professional stink bug exterminator. The experts at My Pest Pros have the knowledge and tools to remove stink bug infestations effectively and can offer strategies to prevent future problems.

This was our first time to use PestPros. We had another pest service, but they have been unsuccessful in handling the rodents in our basement. The PestPro crew thoroughly inspected inside and outside and set up many bait boxes and traps to determine how the rodents are getting into the basement.

Another call to My Pest Pros to save the day with two in-ground super active Yellowjacket nests. Hal showed up on time with a phone call too. He carefully went about his business eradicating both nests. He also ensured that the chemicals would sprayed carefully so as to not hurt our boxwoods. Very professional and patient in explaining the process. My Pest Pros is the only call we need to make when needed. Really are the Pros!!Neil arrived to take are of hornets and wasps. Very professional and effective in eradicating both. Thank you.

Trace was absolutely awesome and a life saver. I'm new to Utah and bought a house near downtown, however I have a tremendous fear of bugs, and saw a few over the past few weeks which prompted me to call in. Trace was so caring, and patient with me, explaining everything very granularly so I'd understand. He was also extremely patient as I had my slight panic attacks just talking about the subject, while not judging me being so dramatic. He did me a solid and put in a light bulb in an area I was afraid to go into. Such a sweetheart and overall went above and beyond the call of duty. I had another service going on and Trace's level of patience was top tier. I'd absolutely recommend Trace and this company; I'm a forever customer! Thanks again Trace!!
