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.

My Pest Pros has always shown up when I’ve needed them! The technicians are friendly and knowledgeable, visits are scheduled promptly, communication is solid, and pricing is reasonable. Since being their client they’ve eliminated ants, crickets, and all the pests that find their way in from the nearby woods. They also conduct a mosquito treatment that greatly reduces the impact of a nearby creek. Recently, Ben came by to conduct a treatment and removed a wasp nest that was well on its way to being a big problem. I’d strongly recommend this company to anyone that wants to protect their home and have a service on call for when they need it most.

Corad Williams was just here and is warm and knowledgeable. Would be happy to have him service our home again.Always pleased with the quality of the people employed by Pest Pros, but a recent change in making reservations - putting callers through to an AI voice system - has been terrible.The AI is programmed to take specific dates/times, then state it will "pass the message on to our reservations team." However, the messages don't seem to be passed on accurately. It took nearly two weeks and several phone calls on my part to get Corad out for a mouse problem. This shouldn't happen, particularly for a company who charges close to $100/month for their subscription services.Again, every human being I have interacted with at My Pest Pros has been lovely. The AI is frustrating and essentially useless.Employees = 5 starsAI voice system = 1 star
