Stink bug defense for New Milford's sun-warmed farmhouse walls during the fall overwintering push.
Call (844) 924-1337The south-facing walls of New Milford's older farmhouses soak up autumn sun, and the brown marmorated stink bug gathers on exactly those warm surfaces each fall before working into attics and window frames to overwinter. The invasive species reached New England within roughly a decade of its late-1990s American debut in Pennsylvania.
Homeowners meet it twice a year, once entering in fall and again in early spring as overwintered bugs hunt a way back outside. Call (844) 924-1337 to discuss pest control help in New Milford and check service availability.
