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.

A 5-star pest control family business. Look no further, they.got.you covered. Anthony went above and beyond today. He addressed my concerns in a professional manner, he took good care of my property, and he contacted the company on my behalf for a special question I had. I am always in good hands with this very personable company, and I highly recommend you give them a try.

Excellent service from start to finish. Our technicians, Jeff and Omar, called before arriving, showed up right on time, and were incredibly friendly and professional. They took the time to explain the treatment process to my elderly father and addressed his concerns. It's refreshing to see a company that truly cares about its customers. A stellar example of great service—I would definitely recommend them.

Posting again as a continued happy customer! Neal came to do my interior service yesterday. He was polite and listened to my issue (springtails in the bathroom) and treated my whole house. He even said hi to my cats in their carriers! It's awesome working with such a great company. I do appreciate that they have a 24 hour phone - i believe it's AI person overnight, but it's great! Thanks, Neal and My Pest Pros!

This is the second time Antoyne has been the technician coming to treat the property. He’s always on time and polite. I appreciate the deep knowledge base and enthusiasm he has in his work. Patient when answering all my questions. Thorough in the pest treatment inside and outside. Any question or concern I had - he had something in the truck to fix it. Took my request of “I don’t care if it eats other things, kill everything” and executed. Haven’t seen so much as a gnat. Thanks again!
