Don't Attract Stink Bugs to Your Home


Keep Your Lights Off - Stink bugs can be attracted by many things, but nothing will attract stink bugs to your home more than a brightly lit home at night. Like all bugs, stink bugs are attracted to light and will flock to your house whenever it is lit up. So at night, be sure to turn off all your outside lights and shut your blinds to prevent any light escaping your home.

Don't Smash the Bugs - Stink bugs contain a fluid that both smells horrible and contains a hormone that attracts other stink bugs to it's location. If you smash one of these bugs, not only will you smell bad, but you will also attract several new stink bugs to that location.
