Stink Bug Control in New Westminster
Queensborough agricultural interface and Queens Park heritage eaves

Yes. Queensborough's floodplain island position adjacent to Delta and Pitt Meadows agricultural land creates above-average stink bug migration pressure from field populations. Annual perimeter treatment before mid-September is particularly worthwhile here.

Heritage-appropriate exclusion is possible. We use metal mesh and materials that do not visually alter heritage fabric and that hold against stink bug entry. The goal is to close the physical entry without affecting the character-defining elements.

Late August to mid-September before the main agricultural migration peaks. Queensborough properties may see migration begin slightly earlier because of the floodplain-adjacent agricultural field proximity.

No. They are overwintering adults. The problem is odour when disturbed or dying in wall voids.

Treatment on exterior aggregation surfaces discourages further entry. Interior treatment inside century-old wall voids is not effective. Exclusion before the following autumn prevents the pattern.

We use heritage-appropriate materials and methods that do not affect character-defining elements or visually alter the exterior heritage fabric.

Yes — the agricultural land adjacent to Queensborough will always produce annual migration. Annual treatment combined with exclusion reduces indoor overwintering significantly.

Yes. The same eave and soffit gaps that stink bugs use are also used by other pests.
