Keep Stink Bugs Out!

The best way to get rid of stink bugs in your house is to keep them out in the first place!

Keep Stink Bugs out of your house!

There are many ways to keep stink bugs out of your home.  Sealing up all of the possible entrance ways for these little pests is going to be your best defense against the stink bugs.  Stink bugs can get into your home through cracks around doors and windows, through spaces in the siding and roof soffits, and even through your chimney.  Closing up all of these gaps will cut down tremendously on the amount of stink bugs in your home.  Read about techniques and tips for sealing up your home against stink bugs here.

All of these tips will certainly help eliminate the number of stink bugs in your house, but what about the ones that follow you right through the front door?  No matter how much you seal the spaces around windows and doors, that doesn’t help you when the stink bugs sneak in when you come and go!

I’ve tried opening and shutting the door as quickly as possible, but that isn’t always easy with a few loads of groceries.  I’ve also tried to turn the outside lights off every time I open the door at night, but this is a huge inconvenience.  No matter how much I tried, the stink bugs were still able to sneak in every time I opened my front door!

I was just about to give up, and then I saw an ad on TV that changed everything!

I had probably seen this a hundred times, but never thought twice about it (I like to brag that I am immune to advertising!).  But this time a light bulb went off!  The ad promises to keep mosquitos and flys out of your house.  Well, if it works on these little pests, it must work on stink bugs!

The ad was for the Magic Mesh Hands Free Screen Door.  This thing is simple.  It hangs on the inside of your door frame and uses magnets to ensure a tight seal, easily closing on its own every time you pass through it.  This means you can walk through your screen door with both arms full of groceries, and it will securely shut behind you, blocking the way for all those stink bugs that had hoped to follow you through!

The stink bugs hate it!  This thing is so simple I can’t believe I didn’t think of it!  It is a piece of cake to install, and it really works great to keep all sorts of unwanted bugs out of your home, especially brown marmorated stink bugs.

The best part is that they are really inexpensive.

You can get two Magic Mesh Curtains for less than $35!

I’ve put one on each doorway in my home, and have truly seen a huge difference in the number of stink bugs.  Along with closing off all of the other little gaps that the critters sneak through, this has virtually eliminated the stink bugs from my home!  And as an extra bonus, I don’t have any flies or mosquitos to worry about either!

This product may not have been intended as a weapon in the war against stink bugs, but it sure is an effective one!
