FAQ

Stink Bugs & Fall Invaders: common questions

Will they breed indoors?

Usually not. They shelter for the winter and come out on warm days, then leave in spring.

Why are stink bugs all over my house in the fall?

They gather on warm, sunny walls looking for gaps to spend the winter inside.

Do stink bugs bite or cause damage?

No. They don't bite, sting or breed indoors, but they smell when crushed and can gather in large numbers.

Why do lady beetles gather in my windows?

Some lady beetles overwinter in groups inside walls and come out to windows on warm days.

Do you do the treatment yourselves?

No. EmergencyExterminators is a referral service. The pest control company you speak with does the work and agrees the details with you directly.
