If you’ve seen brown, shield-shaped bugs crawling on your windows or walls in the fall, you’re not alone. Stink bugs are a growing nuisance across Cincinnati—and once they get inside, they’re hard to forget. At Delhi Pest Control, we help homeowners keep stink bugs outside where they belong.
Why Stink Bugs Are a Big Problem in Cincinnati
The brown marmorated stink bug is an invasive species spreading throughout Ohio—and they love Cincinnati’s mix of warm summers and wooded suburbs.
Here’s Why They’re So Persistent:
- Attracted to light and warmth, especially in fall.
- Enter homes through tiny gaps, cracks, and attic vents.
- Release a pungent odor when threatened or crushed.
- Don’t cause damage but show up in large, unsettling numbers.
Signs of a Stink Bug Infestation
You may notice:
- Bugs crawling on the inside of sunny windows in fall or early spring.
- A foul, skunky smell when one is accidentally squashed.
- Buzzing or clicking sounds as they fly indoors.
- Dozens gathering on south- or west-facing walls on warm days.
Why DIY Treatments Don’t Work Well
Sprays and vacuums can help short-term—but the infestation returns.
Here’s Why:
- Bugs hide in wall voids, attics, and insulation over winter.
- Sealing cracks only works before they enter.
- Crushing them spreads their signature stink (and attracts more).

Stink Bug Prevention Tips
