For them it’s their version of spring break. Only less fun for you.
Can You Prevent Them From Returning?
You can try. Honestly, the effort alone does wonders.
Here’s the checklist:
Seal gaps — Around windows, doors, baseboards. Caulk will become your best friend.
Bedroom laundry — Especially if it was on the clothesline. And you will shake it out like it owes you cash.
Employ screens — Keep them snug. Swap out the ones with tears or worn corners.
Oils — A lot of people like to massage in peppermint oil. Add to water and mist around windows and doors. Will it work? Depends on who you ask, but it finally smells better than stink bug spray.
Light discipline — Don’t have the porch light shining all night. Bugs love a good spotlight.
Still seeing them? Perhaps it’s time to get the exterminator in. There’s no shame in calling in the professionals when nature goes rogue.
