If you’re dealing with a stink bug infestation, you know how frustrating and disgusting it can be. These pests are not only annoying and discomforting, but can quickly become a recurring problem in your home. At Pestex, we understand the hassle stink bugs cause, and our stink bug extermination process is designed to be thorough, efficient, and safe for your home.
We start with a thorough inspection to identify the location and extent of the infestation. Here, we come up with a plan to address the infestation and take the necessary steps to ensure effective removal.
We start by inspecting your property to locate the stink bugs and determine the extent of the infestation. Stink bugs can hide in various places, particularly in cracks, window sills, and even behind walls. Identifying the type of stink bug is also crucial since it helps us tailor the most effective treatment for your specific issue.
Our expert technicians will then apply targeted treatments to exterminate the stink bugs in your home. These treatments are designed to be effective yet safe for children, pets, and the environment. We also focus on treating common entry points to ensure these pests don’t find their way back inside in the future.
One of the main reasons stink bugs get inside is through small gaps and cracks in your home’s structure. As part of our process, we seal off these entry points, including areas around windows, doors, and vents. We use a variety of products like mesh and steel wool that efficiently seals and protects your home from all pests. This step is crucial in preventing future infestations and ensuring your home stays pest-free.
After the extermination, we provide you with tips and preventative measures to avoid future stink bug issues. This can include regular inspections, keeping outdoor lights to a minimum (since stink bugs are attracted to light), and proper maintenance of your home’s exterior. We also offer follow-up visits to ensure the infestation is completely eradicated and your home remains protected.

Dealing with stink bugs in your home can be frustrating. These pests are not only a nuisance, but they emit a strong, unpleasant odour when threatened or crushed. At Pestex, we understand how crucial it is to properly identify stink bugs, understand their life cycle, and learn about their behaviour to effectively manage an infestation. Here’s everything you need to know to stay ahead of these troublesome insects:
Stink bugs, particularly the brown marmorated stink bug (the most common species in Ontario), are recognizable by their distinctive shield-shaped bodies. They’re typically about 1.7 cm in size and range in colour from brown to grey, with some species displaying green or even patterned markings.
Key features to identify stink bugs:
They often hide in cracks, window frames, and inside walls, making them difficult to notice until the infestation has grown.
Understanding the life cycle of stink bugs can help you take preventive measures before a full-blown infestation occurs.
From egg to adult, the entire stink bug life cycle takes several weeks to complete, with most reproduction occurring during the warmer months.
Several stink bug species can be found across Ontario, but the brown marmorated stink bug is the most concerning for homeowners as it is the most common invader.
This invasive species is brown with lighter and darker bands on the wings and antennae. Known for its foul smell, it becomes a household pest when temperatures drop, as it seeks warmth indoors for the winter months to come.
These bugs are bright green and primarily found in gardens, feeding on crops. While not as common inside homes, they still cause damage to plants and crops.
A beneficial predatory species that feeds on other pests. Unlike other stink bugs, these are more helpful than harmful.
Stink bugs are notorious for their defensive odour. When they feel threatened or are squished, they release a pungent smell from glands located in their thorax. This natural defence mechanism deters predators and alerts others in the vicinity to danger, but inside your home it’s a big nuisance.
If you want to avoid the headache of a stink bug infestation, prevention is key. Here are a few measures you can take:
Identifying the type of stink bug infesting your home or garden is crucial for selecting the right treatment method. Some stink bugs, like the brown marmorated species, require a more aggressive extermination focused approach, while others may simply be relocated.
