Stink bug control for Fort Collins, part of a still expanding population Colorado State University's own researchers are actively tracking.
Call (844) 924-1337Brown marmorated stink bugs are new to Colorado's Front Range, a recent arrival compared to the decade plus the insect has spent well established across the eastern United States, and Fort Collins happens to be a convenient place to watch that spread unfold up close since Colorado State University's own entomologists are based right here and have been documenting the bug's advance along the Front Range as it happens. Old Town's brick facades give the insects an easy target each fall: sun warmed, south facing walls on buildings that have stood since 1884 draw them in before they slip through whatever gap gets them out of the cold.
The population hasn't plateaued yet, so what Fort Collins residents are dealing with is still a genuinely unfamiliar pest rather than a predictable yearly nuisance, and numbers are expected to keep climbing as the insect works its way further along the Front Range in the years ahead.

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.
