FAQ
Stink Bug Control — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about stink bug control in Washington, D.C., including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does stink bug control cost?
Stink Bug Control is billed at a flat $199/hr, 1-hour minimum, no matter the pest type or severity. Every job includes an inspection and an upfront estimate before any work begins — the rate never changes based on what we find.
When do stink bugs invade homes?
Stink bugs seek indoor shelter from September through November as temperatures drop. They're most noticeable on warm, sunny days when they cluster on south-facing walls. Preventive treatment in August-September is most effective.
Why do stink bugs smell so bad?
Stink bugs release a chemical compound (trans-2-decenal) from glands on their thorax as a defense mechanism when threatened or crushed. The smell is often described as cilantro or burnt tires. Avoid crushing them — vacuum them instead.
Can stink bugs damage my home?
Stink bugs don't cause structural damage or bite, but large numbers create a significant nuisance. Their odor can permeate living spaces, and they stain surfaces when crushed. They're primarily an agricultural pest that has adapted to urban environments.
How do I prevent stink bugs from getting in?
Seal cracks around windows, doors, siding, and utility penetrations. Repair damaged screens. Apply perimeter barrier treatment in late summer. These preventive measures are far more effective than treating after invasion.
