Identifying Stink Bugs
With their shield-shaped bodies, stink bugs are easy to spot. They typically measure between 12 to 17 mm (around half an inch) in length, and their color can vary—from shades of brown to green—depending on the species. While stink bugs aren’t dangerous, their odor and tendency to gather in large numbers can be disruptive, especially in the warmer months here in Lakewood Ranch.

No, stink bugs do not bite humans or pets. They are not aggressive and do not have the capability to sting or bite. Stink bugs are more of a nuisance pest than a physical threat—they mainly feed on plants and do not pose any danger to people.
Stink bugs are attracted to warmth, light, and shelter, which is why they often invade homes in the fall as they seek warmth to survive the colder months. They’re also drawn to fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants, which can make gardens or yards appealing. Once temperatures drop, they often find their way indoors through small cracks or openings around doors, windows, or utility pipes.
The unpleasant odor from stink bugs can last for several hours to a few days, depending on the surface they’ve released it on and how well ventilated the area is. Cleaning affected surfaces with soap and water can help reduce the smell faster. It’s important to avoid crushing stink bugs, as that’s when they release their odor as a defense mechanism.
