Stink Bug Control in Albany, NY
Every fall, Albany, NY homeowners deal with the same frustrating problem — stink bugs swarming the exterior of the house and finding their way inside through every tiny gap and crack. The brown marmorated stink bug does not bite or cause structural damage, but a large overwintering population is a significant nuisance. Crushing them triggers their notorious defensive odor, and vacuuming them up can leave the smell in the vacuum. Worse, they activate again on warm winter days — appearing on interior walls and windows throughout the cold months.
Effective stink bug management requires a two-part approach: exterior treatment to kill or repel bugs before they enter, and exclusion to seal the gaps they’re using to get inside. Timing matters — the best window for exterior treatment is late September through mid-October, before temperatures drop and the bugs begin seeking shelter. Professional treatment covers the entire exterior perimeter including rooflines and vents, areas that homeowners cannot easily reach or treat thoroughly on their own.

About Stink Bugs
The brown marmorated stink bug is an invasive pest that has become widespread throughout Albany, NY and the Capital Region. Stink bugs seek warm shelter in fall, squeezing through gaps around windows, doors, siding, and vents to overwinter inside walls and attics. When disturbed or crushed, they release a pungent odor — and large overwintering populations of hundreds or thousands can make a home deeply unpleasant through the winter.
