Mike:

I live in the Rocky Mountains near Loveland, Colorado. I seem to be getting 2 to 3 Western Conifer Seed bugs in my house every day. The “stink” is pretty potent. I have tried everything I know to seal up all cracks and spaces in my log home. I haven’t done anything with my chimney. What else can I do? Thanks, Mike

Unfortunately all you can do to keep these guys out of your house is seal up cracks and gaps around your house. There are no pesticides (not that I would reccommend that anyway) registered for these bugs. You could try screening your chimney. Otherwise it sounds like you are already doing everything that I would have suggested. If it gives you any more peace of mind, they are not harmful or anything

Maybe another reader has some clever suggestions?
