About This Pest
Why They're Here
Stink bugs are looking for a warm place to spend the winter. In fall, they gather on sunny exterior walls and find their way inside through cracks and gaps. They're harmless but can arrive in surprising numbers.
What to Watch For
Shield-shaped brown or green bugs on windows, walls, or light fixtures — especially in fall and on warm winter days when they become active.

Our Natural Approach
Targeted Treatment
We use targeted, least-toxic treatments — botanical and mineral-based as the primary approach — to address the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Our approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes.
Family-Conscious Formulas
Our primary toolkit is botanical and mineral-based, formulated to minimize risk to your family and pets. No synthetic pyrethroid sprays. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt (essential-oil based) or EPA-registered minimum-risk pesticides (silica gel, borate).
How You Can Help
  • Seal cracks around windows, doors, and siding before fall arrives.
  • Repair or replace damaged window screens.
  • Vacuum up any that get inside — avoid squishing, as they release an odor.
  • Turn off unnecessary outdoor lights at night.
Family & Pet Considerations
Our treatments use botanical and mineral-based products to minimize risk to your family — children and pets included. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt or EPA-registered minimum-risk. If we ever recommend an EPA-registered escalation product, we'll show you the label and explain it before applying.
