THIS IS WAR!
The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug is scientifically known as Halyomorpha haly. These little pests are native to China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. The sink bugs most probably made their way over to the United States by stowing away in shipping crates. Along with Molly Ringwald nd the Rubik’s Cube, the 1980’s also brought us the stink bug! It was 1988 when the first specimen was collected in the United States, in Allentown, PA.
Stink Bugs are a menace to farmers and gardeners, causing serious damage to fruit and vegetable crops. Stink bugs are suckling insects, which means that they use their proboscis, the long tube protruding from the head, to feed on fruits and vegetables. When stink bugs invade your home, you may notice small dimpled areas on exposed fruits, vegetables and houseplants due to this feeding.
You may notice the increase in stink bug activity in your home during the winter months. This is because they take refuge in your home in the fall to survive the winter, but then come out of their state of hibernation when your home heats up in the winter.
Stink bugs get into your home through the tiniest of openings. A home that looks sealed to you may not look sealed to a stink bug!
Why do Stink Bugs Stink?
Why does a Zebra have stripes? Stink bugs are able to release an odor when they feel threatened. The odor comes from holes in the stink bugs’ abdomen. The pungent odor can emitted when the bug is captured, or even when it is crushed.
