Stinky pests are primarily agricultural pests that often target stocked crops, including soybeans, corn, apples, tomatoes, pears, and peaches. Recently, they have been seen attacking maple and walnut trees, honeysuckles, and rose bushes. All these fall under the category of ornamental shrubs and trees. These pests can wreak havoc on your property and your neighbor’s.

What brings these smelly pests to your house?
Even if your house is clean and pests-free, there might be a minor factor that could attract these stinky pests inside your home. Identifying the primary factors and conditions that attract all of these pests inside your home is a crucial part so that you can avoid these pests and uninvited insects for a more extended period.
One of the most critical factors that attract these stinky pests is warm environments since they often search for a warmer place to hide during the time of fall or when the temperature drops to a certain level. It is nearly impossible for a person just to see them and identify them in the first place.
Further, these insects are more likely to get attracted to indoor sources of light, such as CFLs or some sort of warmer tube lights. One more common thing about these pests is that they are mainly active during the night time. Humans made buildings and other structures that are the main targets of these pests as they are on a constant mission to find homes for themselves that are warm and have void spaces that can become an easy passage for them to invade.
Therefore, it is recommended that you keep your doors and windows shut during the winter months, mostly at night, to avoid the invasion of these stink pests inside your home.
What are the necessary precautions that have to be taken to prevent the invasion of pests?
Studies have shown that stinky pests are the most difficult pests to eliminate. But no need to worry if the invasion has not yet started; you can take some essential measures:
- Seal all the cracks around the windows and doors, utility pipes, and behind the chimney openings.
- All the previously damaged windows and doors must be replaced or repaired.
- You can also change your exterior light to a less attractive small yellow bulb or a sodium vapor light.
- Use a good quality of silicone- latex or silicone caulk.
How can you avoid stinky pests, and how long can they survive inside your home?
In this present scenario, there are hundreds of remedies, solutions, and precautions available to prevent these stinky pests from invading your house. The first and foremost thing to do would be to buy a light-based flying catcher for insects, which you can get from any online seller or pest service provider. This can be the ultimate solution for you since this type of insect is easily attracted to light, especially during night and winter months.
You may also take the help of pest-repellent products such as earth-based small powder-like solutions that would significantly help to keep the pests away. Many natural-based home remedies are available on the sites to keep the pests away, but they could take longer than usual.
Further, stinky pests have a lifespan of around 6-9 months only if they get a place that is warm enough during the winter and fall. Otherwise, they could get killed outdoors due to the harsh weather that is not suitable for them to survive. If they get an appropriate and warmer atmosphere inside a building or a house, they start to breed and lay eggs. These stinky bugs go for hibernation after completing their cycle into a human-made building or structure.
