"The plan is to eradicate our pavement ants. Rainbow Pest Experts came out and gave us an assessment of our problems. They were back within 3 days to perform the treatment. My husband worked with the company reps and said they are very knowledgeable, punctual and thorough. We will use them again later in the spring for the outside treatment."

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug

Stink BugThe Brown Marmorated Stink Bug emits a nasty odor similar to old, used, smelly tennis shoes.

A nuisance pest that over-winters in our homes, the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug multiplies fast. As with the Asian Lady Beetles and Box Elder Bugs, there are no predators to control its numbers.

First found in Minnesota in the fall of 2010, the stink bug is here to stay. With 2- 3 generations produced in one spring/summer season, this insect multiplies fast.  

Native to Asia, the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug was first identified in Pennsylvania in 1998 and has rapidly spread throughout the United States.  It does extensive damage to crops and fruit orchards.

Approximately 1/2 inch in length with white banding on the antennae, the Stink Bug over-winters in homes where ever entrance is possible.
