Why Corte Madera homes get stink bugs

The sandy loam and clay holds the moisture the pests need, the coastlines, valleys, and mountain ranges offers shelter, and the Mediterranean to desert climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Pacific Ocean, the Sacramento River, and Sierra-fed rivers and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.

- Caulk the utility penetrations and the siding joints.
- Repair the screens and the weatherstripping.
- Treat the sunny exterior in the early fall.
