The Battle Against Stink Bugs

Upon hearing the words “stink bug”, basically everybody knows what it is. Even those who have never encounter the shield-shaped insects before can easily understand the logic behind the nickname stink bug: these insects smells bad. If you are one of those unfortunate home owners whose lovely dwelling had just been overrun by these smelly little creatures, you will want nothing less than a stink bug control method that actually works.

Some stink bugs, especially the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug are quite hardy. Although stink bugs do die when hit with regular chemical insecticides, their eggs have an amazing resistance to the poison and can still hatch despite the harmful chemical. Of course stepping on these smelly fellows or crushing them in any way would be a bad idea as you would be releasing more of the smelly substance from their body. Hence, among the most effective method of stink bug control is by using a stink bug trap. Stink bug traps work in different ways. Some use a special smell that attracts the stink bugs into the trap where they will eventually die of starvation and some are as simple as soapy water in a container.

Finding stink bug traps is not difficult because there are several stores that sell them. However, finding a stink bug trap that works effectively can be quite a challenge. The internet is one of the biggest sources of information regarding stink bug control. People can find the posts of other property owners who share their successful stories in getting rid of their stink bug problem.
