Pest Control
SIUE is a beautiful campus surrounded by woods and nature. It’s that time of year when we see an increase in stink bugs. They have been bad this year with the warmer temperatures.
While there is no way to 100% eliminate all bugs in order to reduce pests in your unit, here are some steps you could take.
- Remove food source – take out your trash each day, empty your sink each night, and make sure all open food is sealed or keep in the refrigerator.
- If your windows are open, ensure your screens are securely in the windowsill. If not, open a work order maintenance request and University Housing Facilities Management will make the repair.
- Frequently vacuum your unit.
- If you see stink bugs in your unit, immediately vacuum them. Empty your vacuum and discard in trash.
- Pest Control visit campus weekly (typically on Wednesdays) if you need your unit sprayed, please complete a work order maintenance request.

No, we have not turned on the heat yet.
Although it has been chillier at night, University Housing has not switched to heat quite yet. Consider putting on more clothes and using more blankets if you get cold at night or in the mornings. It's the perfect time to break out those cute Fall pajamas!
