The brown marmorated stink bug, now in 40 states, damages crops and invades homes, prompting control efforts.
The brown marmorated stink bug, an invasive species first detected in the U.S. in the late 1990s, has spread to at least 40 states and is now causing significant agricultural and household damage.
Known for its shield-shaped body and foul odor when disturbed, it feeds on a wide range of crops including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants, leading to economic losses.
In homes, it seeks shelter indoors during colder months, often in large numbers, causing nuisance but not posing health risks.
Control methods include sealing entry points, using traps, and, in severe cases, professional pest management.
Researchers are exploring biological controls, such as parasitic wasps, to manage populations.
