Stink Bugs
What are stink bugs?
Stink bugs are a type of agricultural pest that also invade homes in the fall months. They are not a native species to the United States. These insects were introduced into the country in 1996. Stink bugs get their name because when they are threatened or squished they will release a foul smelling odor from glands located under their thorax.
What do they look like?
Stink bugs have brown and tan bodies and have patches of copper or blue-metallic on their heads. They are also called “shield bugs” because of the triangular shaped plate located on their backs.
Do stink bugs bite?
No, stink bugs do not bite.
Are stink bugs dangerous?
Stink bugs do not bite or sting and pose no danger to humans or pets. They are, however, a major agricultural pest and can cause a lot of damage to plants and farm crops. In addition to damaging plants, when inside of home’s their odor can become very overpowering.
