Although slightly similar in appearance and peskiness, these pests are not one and the same. It is true, although different species, both stink bugs as well as boxelder bugs are attracted to the warmth coming from the crevices and entryways of your home. This is because both species need shelter and protection for over-wintering. So how do you tell the two apart, and keep them both out? Identification and prevention are key with these two pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identifying Differences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither stink bugs nor boxelder bugs cause harm to humans, but they do have some pretty interesting reactions to danger. When crushed, the boxelder bug will secrete a dye that stains. The stink bug, no surprise, gets its name from the odor it emits when squashed. For mess-free removal of these bugs, be sure to use a vacuum hose attachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boxelder bug features:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>dark brown or black coloration<\/li><li>\u00bd inch long<\/li><li>red veins on wings with markings on abdomen<\/li><li>scentless, plant bugs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stink bug features:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>green to brown coloration<\/li><li>short legs, narrow head<\/li><li>broad, flattened shield-shaped body<\/li><li>scent glands<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pest Prevention for Your Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prevention is the best method of managing pests, so its best to be proactive and safeguard your Charlotte home and its surrounding areas. Broken screens let bugs in and should be repaired or replaced immediately. Sealing holes and cracks around doors, windows and walls with silicon latex caulk can decrease access points.
