Why Professional Stink Bug Control Matters
Brown marmorated stink bugs aren’t just a nuisance — they invade Binghamton homes by the hundreds every fall, congregating in wall voids and attics to overwinter. They don’t bite or cause structural damage, but their sheer numbers and smell make them extremely unpleasant. The key to stink bug control is treating BEFORE they enter in fall. Once inside walls, they’re nearly impossible to reach. Our late-summer exterior barrier treatment is the most effective prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I treat for stink bugs?
Late August through September, BEFORE stink bugs start entering. Once they’re inside your walls, treatment options are limited. Preventive exterior treatment is far more effective than reactive interior treatment.
Why are there so many stink bugs in Binghamton?
The brown marmorated stink bug is an invasive species from Asia with no natural predators here. Binghamton’s proximity to agricultural areas and older housing stock with many entry points makes it particularly vulnerable.
Should I vacuum stink bugs?
Yes, vacuuming is the best way to remove stink bugs already inside. Use a dedicated vacuum or bag — their odor can linger. Don’t crush them. Flushing them works too.
Will sealing my house keep them out?
Sealing is the most important step. Stink bugs enter through tiny cracks around windows, doors, and siding. Combined with exterior barrier treatment, sealing dramatically reduces indoor populations.
Do stink bugs cause damage?
They don’t bite humans, damage structures, or contaminate food. They’re purely a nuisance pest. However, large numbers in wall voids can attract other pests like carpet beetles that feed on dead stink bugs.
