Types of Stink bugs

Stink bugs are shield-shaped insects known for emitting a pungent odor when threatened or crushed. While there are many species, only a few are commonly found in and around homes. Here are some of the most notable types:

  • Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB): This invasive species is the most common home intruder in North America. It has a mottled brown appearance and is notorious for seeking shelter indoors during cooler months.

  • Green Stink Bug: Native to the U.S., this bright green species is more common in gardens and farms. It can damage fruits and vegetables, making it a nuisance for gardeners.

  • Southern Green Stink Bug: Similar in appearance to the regular green stink bug, this species prefers warmer climates and is often found on crops in the southern states.

  • Harlequin Bug: A strikingly colorful relative of the stink bug, often seen in red and black. It's more of a garden pest but can become a problem if populations grow.

Stink bugs are more than just a smelly nuisance — they can invade homes in large numbers and damage plants. Identifying the species is the first step to effective control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stink bugs are often found on windows, walls, or ceilings, especially in fall. You might also notice their distinct odor if they’re crushed or disturbed indoors.
Stink bugs seek warmth and shelter when temperatures drop. They enter homes through small cracks, vents, or gaps to overwinter in attics and wall voids.
Stink bugs don’t bite or spread disease, but they can damage indoor plants and emit a foul odor when threatened or crushed. Large infestations are unpleasant and persistent.
Sealing cracks, repairing screens, and installing door sweeps helps block entry. Professional exclusion and preventative treatments are the most effective solutions.
You can vacuum visible bugs and seal entry points, but DIY methods rarely solve infestations. Without full exclusion and treatment, more bugs may continue to enter seasonally.
