Why Glenns Ferry homes get stink bugs

The setting around Glenns Ferry does most of the work. The volcanic loam and sandy soil holds the moisture the pests need, the the Snake River Plain, mountains, and high desert offers shelter, and the semi-arid climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Snake River and mountain reservoirs and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.

Prevention tips for Glenns Ferry homeowners

• Seal the gaps around the windows, doors, and vents in the late summer.
• Caulk the utility penetrations and the siding joints.
• Repair the screens and the weatherstripping.
