Besides being an annoying pest for homeowners and business owners, stink bugs have caused tens of millions of dollars in agricultural damages throughout the United States. These creepy bugs have munched their way across America destroying apples, corn, peppers, tomatoes, soybeans, peaches, green beans, cabbage, or any other type of fruit or vegetable that tempts their taste buds.
According to “The New York Times”, Michael J. Raupp, an entomologist at the University of Maryland said that “The feeling in the bug world is this is the worst bug we’ve seen in 40 years. It eats peaches and grapes and soybeans. It’s annihilated organic growers who can’t use pesticides. And guess what? After it eats your crops, it comes inside your home. I’ve never seen another bug do that”, when discussing stink bugs.
Stink bugs are different than most other types of pests. Even in the hot summer months, they tend to be more attracted to a home’s heat source such as chimney, and light colored objects, such as window frames, doors, brick walls, siding that faces the sun, soffits, gutters, and window screens.
