Why Goldthwaite homes get stink bugs
The clay, sandy loam, and blackland prairie that surrounds Goldthwaite is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what stink bugs need to thrive. The the Gulf Coastal Plain, the Hill Country, and the plains adds harborage, and the varied, humid subtropical to semi-arid climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Gulf of Mexico, lakes, and rivers see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.

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.
Q: Why do they gather on one side of the house?
They gather on the warm, sunny side of the house in the fall, then work through the gaps in the windows, doors, and siding. Treating that side and sealing the gaps stops the invasion.
Q: Do stink bugs cause damage?
They feed on plants and fruit, and indoors they are a nuisance pest. The main problem is the odor and the sheer numbers when they cluster.
