If it’s late summer or early fall and you suddenly start noticing shield-shaped insects on your windowsill or climbing up the walls, there’s a good chance you have stink bugs. As you might be able to guess by their name, they’re often accompanied by pungent smells that waft through the air. Stink bugs can be a serious nuisance in the Southeast region, but getting rid of them is easy. All you have to do is call the professional stink bug control and treatment experts at Lookout Pest Control.
At Lookout, we understand how frustrating it is to deal with these stinky intruders. That’s why we’re here to provide proven stink bug removal in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky.
How Does Stink Bug Treatment Work?
Our approach to stink bug treatment is all about providing comprehensive and long-lasting relief.
- Our first step is a top-to-bottom home inspection. We’ll identify key entry points where brown marmorated stink bugs slip inside, allowing us to anticipate where the next cluster will emerge and be ready for them.
- Next, we apply targeted treatments aimed at fast and effective removal with industry-best products. By focusing on the areas where stink bugs are most active, we can drastically reduce their numbers — and their odor.
- Finally, it’s time for some long-term prevention measures. Stink bugs hate a well-sealed environment, so we’ll advise on improving weatherstripping, installing door sweeps, and reducing outdoor lighting that may attract them at night. These measures not only keep stink bugs out but also deter other pests.

Are Stink Bugs Dangerous?
While stink bugs look unpleasant and emit a characteristically foul smell when threatened, they don’t pose a direct danger to humans or pets. They don’t bite, sting, or spread diseases.
However, large gatherings of stink bugs can be unsettling — and the lingering odor can quickly become overwhelming. Some people are more sensitive to the smell, too. If that’s you or you’re simply sick of being outnumbered, professional stink bug treatment is the best way to reclaim your home.
What Time of Year Do You See Stink Bugs?
In the Southeastern states, brown marmorated stink bugs often start appearing in late summer and early fall, when they look for warm places to spend the cooler months. You may notice them on sunny walls, windows, or doors — any spot where they can soak up the heat.
When stink bugs spend winter in your home, you’ll often begin seeing them again in the spring. That’s because, in spring, they come out of hiding, often congregating near windows and doorways as they try to escape back outdoors.
Can You Crush Stink Bugs?
You can crush a stink bug — but it’s going to result in a heavy stink. Crushing or otherwise agitating a stink bug triggers the release of a pungent, foul odor that can linger in your home. A better way to deal with individuals is to vacuum them up (using a dedicated bag you can discard) or call in professionals for a long-term fix. Our team has the expertise and tools to remove stink bugs without turning your home into a stink zone.
