The more you know about stink bugs, the better you can predict and control their behavior. Here are some quick facts to help you on your way.
Stink bugs are not harmful to humans, but they can be a nuisance when they enter homes in large numbers in search of shelter. They do not bite or sting, but their defensive odor can be unpleasant.
To get rid of stink bugs in your home, seal any cracks or gaps in walls or windows, and use screens on doors and windows to prevent them from entering. If stink bugs are already inside, remove them with a vacuum cleaner or by trapping them in a container and releasing them outside. Crushing stink bugs should be avoided, as this will release their unpleasant odor.

To prevent stink bugs from entering your garden or crops, use row covers to physically exclude them, and remove any weeds or other plants that may attract stink bugs. Insecticides may also be used, but they are often ineffective against stink bugs due to their tough exoskeleton.
