1. Seal Cracks and Caulk Gaps
While stink bugs aren’t the smallest pests, they can still squeeze through surprisingly narrow cracks and gaps to enter your home. Use silicone or caulk to seal any potential entry points around doors, windows, siding, pipes, and vents.
Also, inspect your window screens—stink bugs are often found lounging on them. If screens are torn or improperly fitted, repair or replace them to keep these bugs (and others) out.
2. Plant Sunflowers and Marigolds
Stink bugs can be highly destructive to gardens, feeding on developing plants and vegetables. To naturally reduce stink bug populations, consider planting sunflowers and marigolds in your garden. These flowers attract beneficial insects that feed on stink bug eggs and larvae—letting nature help with pest control.
3. Maintain Your Yard
Stink bugs thrive outdoors during warmer months, especially in summer—their peak egg-laying season. They typically lay eggs on the underside of leaves, and once hatched, the young seek food and shelter nearby.
To disrupt this cycle:
- Rake and dispose of leaves regularly
- Trim overgrown bushes and shrubs
- Keep grass cut and garden beds clean
A well-maintained yard helps eliminate common breeding grounds.
