The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug is a significant nuisance for homeowners and can be devastating for farmers. Since it's accidental introduction to the U.S. from Asia in 1996, Rutgers NJAES Pest Management Teams led by Dr. George Hamilton have been tracking, studying, and formulating management plans to combat this pest.
Beginning in late May and early June you may find BMSB emerging to feed on a wide range of fruits, vegetables, and other plants. You may find them on your house siding or inside your home.
Learn about this important pest and the current recommendations on what you can do to combat it.
