Why Austin homes get stink bugs

The sandy loam over clay that surrounds Austin is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what stink bugs need to thrive. The the Ozarks, the Arkansas River Valley, and Delta lowlands adds harborage, and the humid subtropical climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Arkansas River, the Mississippi River, and the Ozark lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.

Q: When do the stink bugs show up in Austin?

The brown marmorated stink bug moves indoors in the fall, usually September through October, as the nights cool and they search for a place to overwinter.
