New Jersey pest control experts remember the frantic calls well from home and business owners throughout the state of New Jersey in 2010. Reports of a strange pre-historic bug had invaded the interior and exterior of structures seemingly out of the blue. Using typical yard and garden outdoor pesticides only appears to make them annoyed. Once they infiltrate the inside walls, there’s no good options at the store to kill off these creepy shield shaped creatures. They are attracted to light at night, so reading is no fun. They enjoy creeping across television screens; perhaps they enjoy a good show too! They have even been known to zoom around the kitchen and plop themselves right down into a tasty meal. The brown marmorated stink bug is afraid of nothing. If you anger it or squish it, it will release a pungent smell that will make you quickly regret your decision!
New Jersey pest control experts say that you might not see an abundance of stink bugs surrounding your house at this moment in time, but no need to worry…they are there. Stink bugs are out in the yard and garden areas feasting on the 300 types of plants that they love to eat and destroy. When they are not eating, stink bugs are carefully laying their eggs on the undersides of leaves so that in a short time baby stink bugs will emerge to join in the destructive and annoying behavior.
Adult stink bugs are notorious for being difficult to eradicate. Stink bug babies initially share a large resemblance to lady bugs, but will quickly morph into their adult form. When they are in their young state, is when they are the most susceptible to the pesticides used by a licensed pest control expert.
Stink bugs caused considerable crop loss damages resulting in a millions of dollars in losses for farmers in the mid-Atlantic region last year. The losses are expected to be worse in 2011.
Over-the-counter pesticides are not effective on this stinky pest. It’s time to kill the babies that are lurking in the vegetation and perimeter of your surroundings so that you limit the amount of stink bugs that will invade your home. Call Allison Pest Control for expert pest control service.
