Stink bugs, particularly the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), are a significant pest in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Native to Asia, these pests were first detected in Oregon in 2004 and have since spread across the state. Stink bugs are known for their shield-shaped bodies and the foul odor they release when threatened or crushed. While they don't pose direct health risks to humans, stink bugs can be a major nuisance when they invade homes in large numbers during the fall and winter months. Additionally, they can cause serious damage to crops, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts. If you've noticed clusters of these pests around your home or garden, it’s important to act quickly.

Hiring a professional pest control service for stink bug infestations offers several key advantages:
Stink bugs (Halyomorpha halys) are shield-shaped insects that release a foul odor when disturbed or crushed. The most common species in Oregon is the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), which feeds on fruits, vegetables, nuts, and ornamental plants.
Stink bugs do not bite humans or pets and do not transmit diseases. However, they can cause significant damage to crops and become a nuisance when they invade homes in large numbers during the fall.
The best way to manage a stink bug infestation is by sealing cracks around windows, doors, vents, and other potential entry points. Professional pest control services can also apply insecticides around problem areas to reduce populations.
Stink bugs are attracted to warm surfaces such as sunny walls during the fall as they prepare for winter hibernation. Homes located near gardens or orchards with host plants like fruit trees are more likely to experience infestations.
