How Can Stink Bugs Be Kept Out of a Home?

The primary strategy to avoid stink bugs is barrier control. Seal any cracks with caulking or weather-stripping to keep the invaders out. Rotting windowsills, improperly sealed doors, and holes in window screens are the usual suspects. Any vents, especially those connected to an attic, should be sealed up or screened off to permit ventilation while keeping stink bugs out. Window air-conditioning units should either be removed or properly covered. Dead stink bugs should be cleaned up since they can attract carpenter beetles that feed off the carcasses. When bugs are found inside the home, you can vacuum them, but your vacuum cleaner will soon start to stink if the bag is not emptied. An alternative is to place the bugs in a small jar filled with soapy water or rubbing alcohol.
