Have you noticed an increase in the number of bugs around your home or garden? If so, it could be due to a stink bug infestation. Stink bugs are common in Arizona and can be found both indoors and outdoors. They come with a variety of health and safety risks, so it’s important to know what kind of stink bug is present, their habits, and how to get rid of them.

The most common kind of stink bug found in Arizona is the brown marmorated stink bug. This species is easily identifiable by its brown and white mottled body, shield-like shape, and antennae longer than its head. These bugs are often seen congregating on the exterior walls of homes or in gardens. They feed on a variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains.

Other species of stink bugs found in Arizona include the spined soldier bug and the green stink bug. The spined soldier bug is black with yellow markings on its body and has a spiked underside that gives it an armored appearance. The green stink bug is bright green with white spots on its sides and a distinct yellow border around its eyes.

Signs that you may have an infestation of stink bugs include an increase in the number of insects around your home; spotting the insects on walls and windowsills; finding clusters of eggs on plants or tree branches; noticing damage to fruit, vegetables, or grains; seeing wings or body parts of dead insects; and the obvious strong, unpleasant odor.

If you suspect an infestation of stink bugs in your home or garden, it’s important to take steps to remove them as soon as possible. Stink bugs can cause health and safety risks if not dealt with quickly. They can spread diseases and contaminate food sources, and their bites can be painful and cause skin irritation. Stink bugs have also been known to damage furniture and electronics, as well as contaminate water supplies with their excrement.

Fortunately, getting rid of stink bugs is relatively easy. The most effective way to get rid of them is by using chemical treatments such as insecticides or insect growth regulators – usually applied by our pest control experts.
