Topic 1

Why do stink bugs come indoors in autumn?

UMass Extension says brown marmorated stink bugs overwinter in homes, office buildings, sheds and warehouses.

Do they damage the house?

The sources on this site do not make a damage claim, and the page does not make one.

Topic 2

Are sheds part of the visit?

Yes, if the owner asks. UMass names sheds among the overwintering sites, so each one is walked as its own building.

Is sealing enough on its own?

Sealing closes the entries the walk finds. A spring check looks for openings the winter has widened.

Topic 3

How do I check the licence?

Ask the technician for the details on request, then check them with the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources on mass.gov.

What does a visit cost?

No figure is published here. The price is explained and approved on site before any work begins.

Call and ask. A technician will give you a straight answer, even if the answer is that you do not need us.
