Stink bug control for Bakersfield, at the edge of the Central Valley almond orchards where this invasive species is now an emerging crop pest.
Call (844) 924-1337Bakersfield's spot at the edge of Central Valley almond country puts it in the path of an insect that's a fairly new concern for California growers: the brown marmorated stink bug. Well known for the East Coast infestations that made it famous, the species has since been documented spreading into the state's almond orchards and other Central Valley farmland, the same irrigated ground the Kern County Land Company's canal network first opened up for agriculture back in 1890.
For homeowners in these bordering communities, the connection between orchard and yard is direct. Stink bugs building up in nearby crops during the growing season are the same ones showing up at siding gaps each autumn looking for a place to overwinter indoors. Since the insect is still expanding its foothold in California rather than settling into a fixed range, expect the pressure around Bakersfield to keep climbing rather than level off.

Sealing gaps around windows, doors, siding, and utility lines is the main way to reduce how many get inside, especially heading into fall. Checking exterior gaps can reveal entry points that are easy to miss during routine cleaning indoors.
Yes, professional treatment focused on exterior entry points can meaningfully reduce how many stink bugs get inside. It generally works best when paired with sealing work rather than indoor pesticide alone.
For stink bugs already inside, removal, like vacuuming or capturing them, rather than crushing them, is generally recommended to avoid the odor. Addressing exterior entry points is important for reducing repeated invasions; discuss those areas during an inspection.
The approach is largely the same as general stink bug control, focused on sealing entry points and exterior treatment, since this is the most common species found seeking shelter in homes. Identification helps confirm which insect is present before any control measures are chosen.
