What’s the latest news about brown marmorated stink bugs?
The Home & Garden Information Center of the University of Maryland Extension yesterday (May 4) released an updated “Brown Marmorated Stink Bug FAQ.”
Veggie gardeners especially will be interested in two questions: How do you manage them in the garden? What insecticides control the stink bugs?
You should read the FAQ to learn the answers, but be forewarned: There’s no silver bullet yet that will solve the stink bug problem.
If you want in-depth information, investigate the link at the bottom of the FAQ. One I found particularly valuable: “Brown Marmorated Stink Bug Information Page—Northeastern IPM Center.” At the bottom of that page is “Stink Bug Presentations from ESA Eastern Branch Meeting, March 2011,” which gives an idea of the intensive research being done on the stink bug problem.
