STINK BUGS!

12 years ago

I just moved into my newly built home and it seems like we have a ton of stinkbugs. I closed off one of the bathrooms and went in the other day and there were 10 on the window - which was closed. How do you think they are coming in. I had the warranty guy come in the other day and he caulked the vents (he said they had been coming in there) but now that we had that done, I don't know where they are getting in - any suggestions?

I must attest i have no idea what a stink bug is. But per personal observation what i see is that that other bugs, like tics don't enter the house of their own accord...they latch onto your person and/or clothing and are literally carried in

I have been on the receiving end of stink bug spray a couple of times. Definitely not pleasant.

I looked online and discovered there are many species of stink bug. The ones in the Southwest USA do not look like ones in other parts of the country. Here is some information which might be helpful to you:
