Do stink bugs come back to the same home every fall?
Yes, stink bugs look for houses with light-colored walls that face the sun. They leave aggregation pheromones behind so they know to go to the same spot the following year.
Mosquito barrier treatments target spots where mosquitoes rest during the hot, dry parts of the day. When mosquitoes rest on those surfaces, they’re knocked down. This works for about three weeks at a time.
If you have a lot of mosquitoes, professional mosquito control is probably worth it. DIY mosquito control alone is usually not enough to fight a serious mosquito problem.
Are tidal wetlands harder to treat for mosquitoes?
Yes. Tidal wetlands produce large numbers of mosquitoes that fly into nearby neighborhoods, which is why controlling them focuses on managing your own property rather than the marsh.
