Why Do Stink Bugs Become a Nuisance in the Fall?

Changing seasons force pests to invade homes. Keep stink bugs at bay this season with Wisconsin stink bug control

Throughout the summer months, all manner of pests make themselves known to us as they buzz, whine, and bite in our outdoor living spaces. It’s the price many of us have accepted as part of the warm weather here in Wisconsin, but where do these pests go when the weather starts to cool off, and the signs indicate winter is on the horizon? Of all the pests in our area, mosquitoes and ticks are perhaps the most notorious pests thanks to their biting behavior and ability to transmit disease, so it’s understandable that other pests fly under the radar. However, we want you to be aware of the insects that become problematic in the late summer and fall, when mosquitoes and ticks become less active. As autumn arrives, you will likely notice other insects becoming more common, as well as approaching closer and closer to your home. While some pests can be tolerated when they are out in your yard’s periphery, this changes dramatically when pests come close to your home and even attempt to get inside. This behavior on its own is often not a direct attack on you. Rather, it’s a survival tactic insects are driven to follow, because your home is a reliable shelter where they can overwinter and survive the frigid temperatures we experience during the colder months. So, what pests should you keep an eye out for this autumn?

Ants, asian lady beetles, and even boxelder bugs are common household invaders in our region. It might seem like their numbers are increasing in the autumn months, when they are often found around windows and collecting in huge numbers near doors, but the reality is that these are the remaining survivors gathering to seek shelter together. However, your home and your indoor lifestyle can’t tolerate insect infestations, which means proactive measures are essential to keep these invaders at bay. This is especially true in the case of stinkbugs. These insects are renowned for their stinky odor when squished, handled, or frightened, and they will happily live in the dark corners of your home, like the pantry, your clothes, and other suitable shelters. Stinkbugs aren’t welcome indoors, but our team at Mosquito Squad Plus is here to help!
