Smart solutions
Stink Bugs: frequently asked questions
Read the full stink bugs guide →Why do stink bugs smell?
+
Defensive chemicals released from glands on their thorax — meant to deter predators. The odor compounds are similar to cilantro.
Do stink bugs lay eggs in my house?
+
No. They enter to overwinter and don't reproduce indoors. Spring emergence ends when they fly back outside.
How do I get rid of them without the smell?
+
Don't crush them. Vacuum with a sealed bag or use a stink-bug-specific trap that drowns them in soapy water.
