How Can I Prevent Late Summer and Fall Stink Bugs Now?

Warm afternoons, cooler nights, and the first signs of seasonal change are not as far away as they might feel right now.

And if we know anything about pest control at Mosquito Squad Plus of Nashville, we know that getting ahead of pest problems is the best way to keep them under control. The time to think about cooling temperatures, changing seasons, and the pests that they bring is before it happens.

Including stink bug prevention in Nashville.

Why Do Stink Bugs Show Up in Late Summer and Early Fall?

Stink bugs will start looking for protected spaces, where they can safely spend the winter close to our homes when temperatures begin to cool. Homes, garages, sheds, crawl spaces, attics, and even wall voids – all these might provide the shelter they need.

One of the most annoying things about stink bugs is that we aren’t apt to suffer only one invasion. If your property has hiding spaces for stink bugs, you’ll see them in the fall and again in the spring.

At the end of the summer and early autumn, you’ll find stink bugs gathering on sunny parts of your home’s exterior, where they work to locate a point of entry for overwintering. And they can squeeze through surprisingly small openings, like gaps around doors and windows, utility lines and pipes, and window air conditioners, as well as through attic and foundation vents, chimneys, and along rooflines and siding.

What Can Nashville Residents Do to Prevent Stink Bugs?

Now is the best time to act to prevent stink bugs from entering. Inspect the exterior of your home for gaps where stink bugs, spiders, and other insects could enter. Seal cracks and gaps with the appropriate exterior caulk, install window screens or replace broken ones, add or replace weatherstripping around windows and doors, and don’t forget to check areas where cables, plumbing, and utility lines enter your home from outside.

If vegetation near your home has gotten overgrown this summer, you can trim it away from your home’s exterior to help allay stink bugs this fall. It’s also important to keep outdoor storage spaces organized and clean of debris. Be sure to clean up yard debris and grass clippings this summer too. All these things will help reduce potential pest hiding spots.
