Stink Bug Control - Why Not?
They say that there is nothing that you can do about them, and it stinks.
I am talking about Stink Bugs of course.
We are reading in PA, stories that say Stink Bugs are here to stay, and that you just have to get used to it.
Now I ask the question, why not pest control for Stink Bugs? I have to admit that they a big of a challenge for us pest control professionals, but so are Bed Bugs and Roaches.
Are we sure when we say that "There is nothing that you can do about them", that we are not simply making an excuse? In any event, there is a way to control them, and some times it takes a serious effort and intense inspections.
Stink Bug control involves more than just a little spraying here and there.
As professionals, it is our duty to find the infestations, access points, and make recommendations to seal areas that the stinkers are using to enter the structure.
It may be a lot of work, but with some good team effort, Stink Bugs can be controlled.
Years ago, I heard the same sad story about Boxelder Beetles.
I am referring to the statement that they cannot be controlled.
After learning about them in 1991, I know exactly how to control them.
But it took time to understand their habits, and learn exactly where to look for them, and how to use their instincts against them.
It is no different for Stink Bug control...
even though they are new to areas such as Pennsylvania, we need to study them and use their habits to our advantage when controlling them.
"Okay, so how do you control them?", you ask.
I knew you would ask.
In one word, I will answer--powerspray! The national companies who say that there is nothing that you can do about them are not willing to powerspray, so they simply shy away.
Powerspraying is equivalent to painting the home with a product that lasts for a few months and stops them before they enter--keeping them "Dying at the door".
Sometimes it can take a full year of powerspraying to keep them out.
And the most important treatment will be in the fall.
Why? Because that is when Stink Bugs "overwinter".
This means "spend the winter in your walls"! If you can stop them from entering in the first place, you won't have them dropping in on you in the middle of the winter.
Don't be discouraged, call a pest professional who is willing to powerspray, and soon, you will notice a big difference, and you will be able to blow the stink off!
