Stink Bugs

Chicago residents will encounter stink bugs because they’re overwintering pests. Your area gets hold during the winter months. Therefore, stink bugs will need to take shelter before the cold temperatures arrive. Although they can hide elsewhere, stink bugs often invade homes. They’re small enough to slip through small gaps and cracks. In the United States, the first stink bugs were found in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1996. Today, they can be found in most states including Illinois. These pests can only reach three-quarters of an inch. In terms of color, they’re either gray or brown.

Reasons You Have Stink Bugs

Remember that a stink bug infestation says nothing about you. Instead, the problem has to do with the bug’s need to survive. Stink bugs invade residences because they’re trying to avoid the cold temperatures of winter. In other words, these bugs are overwintering pests. Stink bugs and other overwintering pests are going to seek shelter in buildings and elsewhere in the fall. When the temperatures rise, they’ll return outside.

Are Stink Bugs Dangerous?
