Stink Bugs:  A Seasonal Pest Problem In Maryland

Stink bugs are rapidly becoming an alarming problem for home and business owners across the state of Maryland.  Specifically, the Brown marmorated stink bug was first identified in Pennsylvania in 1996.  Today, however, this non-native pest has spread to more than 20 neighboring states and what began as an isolated pest sighting has developed into a seasonal phenomenon.

Why Are Stink Bugs Infesting Homes?

Stink bugs seek to enter homes at the first sign of cooler weather as they are unable to survive the elements without overwintering.  Once inside, stink bugs may wander from room to room in search of food and water.  Although they are harmless to humans occasionally stink bugs will cause damage to household plants.  Stink bugs are more commonly known (and appropriately named) for the offensive odor that they secrete when they feel threatened.
