Why Troutville

Why Troutville Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

Orchards are where the brown marmorated stink bug problem in this part of Virginia actually begins. Fruit crops carry very high populations through the season, and when the nights cool those insects leave the trees in enormous numbers looking for a dry cavity — and the buildings closest to the orchards receive the bulk of them.

The freight route supplies the second half. Goods, pallets and produce move through constantly, loading areas hold spillage, and the verges beside the road and track give rodents an unbroken corridor past every property in the town.

Common Questions

Troutville Pest Questions, Answered

Thousands of stink bugs in September.
Living beside orchards is the reason. The population builds in the fruit all season and leaves the trees together when the nights turn, and the nearest buildings take most of it. Sealing has to be done in late August — window frames, soffit joints, gable vents and any utility entry — because once they are inside the wall nothing applied afterwards reaches them.
They come out indoors all winter.
That is the ones already in the void waking up on a warm day. Vacuum them rather than squashing them, empty the canister outside, and put the sealing work in the diary for next August. There is no useful treatment for insects sitting inside a wall.
Wasps around the fruit in late summer.
Windfall and stored fruit both draw them, and they get much more defensive as the season ends. Clearing fallen fruit regularly removes most of the attraction; nests near the house are better dealt with early than left until picking time.
Mice despite living in a small town.
The verges beside the road and track are a continuous corridor, and loading areas provide the food. Small-town does not mean low pressure when a freight route runs through the middle of it. Sealing at ground level is the part that works.
Are the orchard sprays enough for our house?
No, and they are not meant to be. Commercial spraying protects the crop during the season; it does nothing about insects looking for somewhere to overwinter in October. The house needs its own exclusion work.
