Stink bugs product a “stinky” odour when crushed or disturbed. Of the 260 species in North America only one is harmful. Adult stink bugs are shaped like a shield. They thrive in temperatures of 21º C or above. Stink bugs are lively during spring and summer, and live in buildings the rest of the year.  Depending on the temperature these pests can produce up to four generations a year. Some people are sensitive to the odour that stink bugs emit and may experience allergic reactions. Adult stink bugs can be seen around light fixtures, on draperies, or crawling along walls. One of the most telling signs of an overwintering stink bug infestation occurs on warmer winter days, when the pests emerge from their hiding places in the home to congregate on indoor walls. To eliminate stink bugs, cracks in the foundation should be sealed with caulk and screen windows and doors. Removing a stink bug infestation from the home can be accomplished with a vacuum cleaner.
