Why DIY Methods Always Fail
Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:
Homemade light trap
Problem: Stink bugs are attracted to light but quickly adapt and avoid the trap
Result: Only catches a few bugs, leaving most of the infestation untouched

Vacuuming
Problem: Stink bugs release a foul odor when disturbed or crushed, which can contaminate your vacuum and surrounding area.
Result: Only removes visible bugs temporarily and may worsen the smell problem.
Soapy water trap
Problem: Stink bugs can fly away or avoid the trap
Result: Only catches a small number, infestation persists
Diatomaceous earth
Problem: Stink bugs have hard, waxy exoskeletons that protect them from diatomaceous earth
Result: Little to no impact on infestation
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
