Stop the Seasonal Swarm Before It Starts

As the crisp autumn air arrives in Burlington, so does an unwelcome houseguest: the stink bug.

At The Eliminator Pest & Property Service, we believe the best way to control stink bugs is to stop them from ever getting inside. Our local Vermont team specializes in proactive, preventative treatments that create a barrier around your home, so you can enjoy the fall season without these smelly intruders.

Why Stink Bugs Invade Burlington Homes in the Fall

If it feels like stink bugs suddenly appear out of nowhere every autumn, you are not imagining it. This seasonal behavior is driven by a natural survival instinct. The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, an invasive species common in our area, cannot survive the cold Vermont winter outdoors.

Here is a breakdown of their predictable seasonal pattern:

Spring and Summer: Stink bugs spend the warmer months outdoors, feeding on plants, fruits, and vegetables in gardens and agricultural areas. They reproduce during this time, leading to a population boom by late summer.
Late Summer to Early Fall: As days get shorter and temperatures begin to drop, they instinctively seek out warm, sheltered places to spend the winter in a dormant state called diapause.
The Invasion: Your home provides the perfect winter shelter. They are attracted to the warmth radiating from sunny sides of the house and will crawl into any tiny crack or crevice they can find—around window frames, under siding, through attic vents, and behind chimneys.
Winter and Spring: Once inside, they may remain hidden in walls or attics. On warmer, sunny days, they can become active and emerge inside your living space, mistaking the warmth for spring.

Understanding this cycle is the key to knowing why preventative action in late summer is so critical.

Our Proactive Stink Bug Prevention Service

At The Eliminator Pest & Property Service, we know that once stink bugs are inside your walls, the battle is already lost for the season. Our entire strategy is focused on prevention. We offer a timely exterior treatment service designed to stop the invasion before it can begin, creating an invisible shield around your home.

Our professional stink bug control process is simple and effective:

Strategic Timing: We schedule our service in the late summer or early fall, right when stink bugs begin to congregate on buildings but before they have moved inside for the winter. This timing is critical for success.
Thorough Exterior Inspection: Our certified technician will inspect the exterior of your home to identify the most common and likely entry points that stink bugs will exploit.
Targeted Application: We apply a professional-grade, long-lasting product to the exterior surfaces of your home, focusing on the areas where stink bugs gather, such as sunny south- and west-facing walls, eaves, and around windows and doors.
A Protective Barrier: This treatment does not leave a visible residue but is highly effective at eliminating stink bugs that land on the treated surfaces, significantly reducing the number that can find a way inside.

This preventative service is the most effective and hassle-free way to ensure you don’t spend your fall and winter dealing with these nuisance pests.

The Limits of Reactive Stink Bug Removal

Seeing a stink bug inside can be annoying, but the ones you see are often just the tip of the iceberg. Many more are likely hiding within your walls, attic, and other voids, waiting to emerge. Trying to control them one by one is a frustrating and ultimately futile effort.

DIY methods like vacuuming up the bugs you see can help manage the immediate problem, but it does nothing to stop more from emerging from their hiding spots or from getting in next year. Likewise, interior sprays are not recommended, as they have limited effect and can be harmful.

The only truly effective long-term strategy is prevention. A professional exterior treatment in the fall stops the problem at its source—the outside of your home. This proactive approach saves you the season-long headache of finding and removing bugs from your living space.
