Stink Bug Control : Home Entry Points

No matter how new your home is, no home is air tight. There are always some openings, cracks, or holes which may be on the ceiling, in the basement, or on the wall. Stink bugs are probably the most persistent insect one can encounter, and once they find an entrance to your house, they will keep coming unless it is sealed up.

Do not be fooled by their shape or size; they can maneuver their way into the tiniest of gaps! Once they are inside your home,they tend to find great hiding places. For instance, if your house has a false bottom or cupboards that do not go all way to the wall, they will hide in between the wall and cupboard. Not only will you not be able to see them, but those are difficult areas to reach and treat.

Main Points of Entry

Stink bugs will gather on the two sides of your home that receive the most direct sunlight. During the winter, they may hibernate here; during the warmer months, they will exploit points of entry on this part of your house. Stink bugs actually like to enter your home from the top down. However, if they find openings on the lower part of your house, they will not discriminate. The following are the most vulnerable points of entry:

  • Torn Window/Door Screens
  • Ducts
  • Pipes
  • Drainage Systems
  • Chimney
  • Loose Shingles or Siding
  • Window and Door Frames

Secondary Points of Entry

So stink bugs have entered your home, and you hear them in the walls or the attic. But how are they getting into your living area?

  • Light Fixtures***
  • Air Vents
  • Attic Vent
  • Crawl Space
  • Cracks in Ceiling
