Brown marmorated stink bug control for Midlands homes. They gather on warm sunny walls in fall
and work their way in through gaps around windows, siding and attic vents.
Stink bugs live outdoors and have no interest in your house until temperatures drop. Then the whole local population moves toward warm structures at once, and they overwinter in wall voids and attics.
They do not breed indoors, so the population never grows inside. It arrived that size. That is why sealing the structure ahead of the fall movement does far more than anything applied after they are already in the walls.
Years of Local Service
local & Family-Owned Since 1955
Modern Exterminating has been the longest-standing, local and family-owned pest control company serving the area since 1955. Now in its third generation, the company runs by a simple standard, a PHD in customer care: professional, honest, and dependable, on every visit.
Treat the sunny walls and entry zones ahead of the seasonal movement, then seal the gaps they use to get in.
We identify the walls where they congregate and the gaps around windows, siding and vents they are using.
2
Treatment timed ahead of the fall movement rather than applied once they are in the wall voids.
3
Exterior perimeter treatment concentrated on the warm, sunny surfaces where they gather.
4
Sealing windows, siding, utility entries and vent screening, which is the part that lasts.
Modern Exterminating stands behind every visit. If a problem returns within a reasonable time after treatment, we come back and address it at no extra charge.
Quick answers on why they suddenly appear, what to do when you find one indoors, and why interior spraying rarely helps.
They respond to the same temperature cue. When fall nights drop below a threshold, the whole local population moves toward warm structures together.
Only with a vacuum you can dedicate to it or a disposable bag you remove immediately. The defensive odour transfers to the vacuum and persists.
No. They do not bite, sting or damage structures. Indoors they are a nuisance. Outdoors they feed on fruit and ornamental plants.
Warm winter days bring them out of wall voids and attics and into living space. They are not new arrivals, they were already overwintering there.
Brown marmorated stink bugs are shield shaped and mottled brown, and they are the most recognizable of the seasonal invaders. They gather on warm exterior walls in fall, usually the south-facing side, then move in through gaps around windows, siding and attic vents.
Properties near wooded land, orchards or heavy landscaping see the most pressure. Once inside they overwinter in wall voids and attics, and warm spells bring them out into living space through the winter.
With this pest, sealing the structure does more than anything applied to it.
Treating ahead of the fall movement is far more effective than reacting once they are inside.
Before the fall movement, late summer to early autumn. Treating after they are already inside the walls is reactive and much less effective.
Rarely as the main approach. They sit in wall voids and attics where interior treatment does not reach. Exterior perimeter treatment and sealing the gaps is what works.
Appointment length depends on the treatment and property. Our team will explain what to expect, provide an arrival window, and call on the way.
Modern uses low-toxicity, professional products and follows service-specific safety requirements. Some treatments require people or pets to stay out of treated areas until the materials are dry or for a specified period.
