Expert Stink Bug Control in Hampton Roads
Fall barrier treatments stop stink bugs before they overwinter in your walls. Humid summers and mild winters give pests a long season here, so we work the source rather than the symptom — find where the infestation starts, clear it, and close the way back in.
Our Proven 3-Step Process
Inspect
We conduct a thorough evaluation of your property to identify the exact species, entry points, and nesting areas.
Treat
Using advanced, targeted treatments, we eliminate the infestation at its source while keeping your family and pets safe.
Guarantee
We back our work with our Pest-Free Guarantee. If they return between scheduled visits, we return for free.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I identify brown marmorated stink bugs in my home?
Brown marmorated stink bugs are shield-shaped, about three-quarters of an inch long, and mottled brown with distinctive alternating light and dark bands on their antennae and the edges of their abdomen. They're best known for the pungent odor they release when disturbed or crushed, which is why they should be vacuumed rather than squashed. In Hampton Roads you'll typically find them clustered on sunny exterior walls in fall and crawling near windows and lights once they slip indoors.
Why do stink bugs invade Hampton Roads homes in the fall?
Stink bugs are overwintering pests that seek sheltered, warm spaces as fall arrives, and our mild tidewater winters make coastal homes an inviting refuge. They gather on sun-warmed south- and west-facing walls, then push through gaps around windows, siding, soffits, and crawl space vents to hide in wall voids and attics until spring. Because they emerge again on warm days, a proactive fall barrier treatment around the exterior is the most effective way to keep them out.
Fall Barrier Defense
Schedule an exterior barrier treatment before stink bugs move indoors.
Schedule TreatmentAre your stink bug treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes, our stink bug treatments rely on pet-safe and family-safe products applied by licensed technicians who concentrate on exterior entry points and harborage zones. We're especially mindful in humid coastal homes with crawl spaces, keeping applications targeted so your household stays comfortable and protected. If you'd rather go greener, all-natural product options are available upon request.
