If you’re experiencing an influx of stink bugs…I have some bad news for you.

If you live in a residential area with people on all sides and your house “for whatever reason” is infested bad…they are not coming from your house. I’ve examined every inch on and in these houses with very little luck in finding any sign of bugs. We’re talking full crawls, attics, insulation, behind drywall, etc. The bugs just aren’t there. <br><br>Here’s the bad news…I’ve been crawling through attics and the first thing I look for is where the bugs are coming from. If I’m on one side of the house I look to the neighboring houses that are within a few feet of the infested house. It usually doesn’t take me long to pinpoint where the bugs are coming from. <br><br>Bugs will migrate from neighboring houses. They don’t just go straight up. They go up one side of the house, along a soffit or gutter, and over to the next house. This migration will make you think your house is infested when it’s not. I’ve also noticed they like to migrate into houses under shingles where there’s no soffit. From there they can find their way to the other side of the house or into the attic. If you live in a neighborhood where houses have been built very close together, the stink bugs will take advantage of it. I’ve had houses that I pulled thousands of bugs out of and the bugs just keep coming back. If it’s not the house you’re in, “it’s the house that’s in you.”
