Cluster Flies
Much like Boxelder bugs, Cluster flies aren’t destructive but are annoying to a household. Cluster flies are significantly larger than a housefly. They’re commonly found in large swarms and are flying around windows, cracks in sidings, and under eaves. For cluster fly problems, you can try to seal cracks or install window screens.
Stink Bugs
Commonly found outside of your home, Stink Bugs feed on weeds, soybeans, figs, apples, and peaches. These bugs are easily recognized because of their brown shield. Moreover, when threatened, they emit foul-smelling odor. Getting rid of them is quite a hassle. The best option is to rely on exclusion. You must replace damaged screens, clean debris from your door’s entrance, and use caulk to seal any visible openings.
Larder Beetles
When it comes down to pests and bugs, larder beetles have an impression of being a real pesky annoyance. Adult larder beetles feed on pet food, unsupervised meat, and dead insects. For you to prevent larder beetles from coming to your home, you must identify what food items they are routinely eating. Then, seal it off, clean any crumbs, and don’t leave any food item sitting unsupervised for extended periods.
