Stink Bug Control and Prevention: At a glance
Struggling with stink bugs in your Connecticut home or business? You’re not alone. These invasive pests swarm indoors during the fall to overwinter, often gathering in large numbers on sunny walls and inside attics, walls, and living areas.
When disturbed or crushed, they release a strong, unpleasant odor and can stain surfaces. DIY sprays and vacuums rarely solve the problem or stop them from returning.
Whether it’s eliminating an active infestation or being proactive with preventative maintenance, we’ve got it covered in Farmington Valley and it’s surrounding towns.

Stink bugs are shield-shaped, brownish-gray insects about ½ inch long. They have a distinctive “stink” when crushed or disturbed. The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug is the most common nuisance species in homes. They feed on fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants outdoors.
Stink bugs are mainly a seasonal nuisance pest. They can stain surfaces and release a strong unpleasant odor when crushed. They may cause minor skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive people. They do not bite, sting, or transmit diseases to humans or pets.
They seek warm, protected places as temperatures change throughout the year. They are strongly attracted to sun-exposed, light-colored walls. They crawl into tiny gaps around windows, doors, siding, soffits, and vents. Once inside wall voids or attics, they can lay eggs and become more common over time.
Stink Bugs will not completely go away on their own once they enter a structure. They can stay hidden in walls and attics for months. Generally sightings develop sporadically through the year, with some seasons worse than others. Professional treatments are needed for reliable control and prevention, particularly in environments that are highly populated.
