Stink Bug Control for Chesapeake Homes
Stink bugs crowd into the walls and attics of Chesapeake homes each fall, then reappear inside when the weather warms.
Our technicians treat their entry points before they move in and cut down the numbers that emerge in spring.
Brown marmorated stink bugs look for warm shelter as fall arrives, gathering on sunny exterior walls before squeezing into wall voids, attics, and siding gaps to overwinter. The mix of wooded lots and open former farmland around the city gives them plenty of feeding ground before they head for houses. Homes with lots of south-facing wall in Grassfield and Great Bridge collect the biggest fall clusters. In spring, the survivors crawl back out, often into living spaces, and release that familiar odor when disturbed.
We treat exterior walls and entry points in fall before the bugs settle in, and we seal the vents, cracks, and gaps they use to slip behind the siding. Timing the exterior work to their gathering window keeps far more of them out. Sealing now also reduces the spring emergence indoors. Free inspections let us map the warmest, most vulnerable walls first.
