Latest WI Pest: Brown Marmorated Stink Bug

The hits just keep coming, in the form of more unwanted six-legged visitors whose real home is across the seas.

 

A tide of annoying insects has washed over our Camp Whitcomb neighborhood Pewaukee and Wisconsin in the past two decades: the Japanese beetle and Asian beetle to name a few. All are native to foreign countries. All have caused environmental and economic mayhem in the United States, where no natural predators exist to control them.

 

The latest invader winging its way here will literally make a smell.

 

The brown marmorated insect is ¾-inch long, with a wide back side that tapers to a point, and a rectangular head with long antennae. Native to China and east Asia, the insect has been journeying west since being first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2001.

 

Its name is well-deserved. When disturbed or stepped on, the brown marmorated stink bug emits an awful, nasty you'd invite into your Camp Whitcomb home, right?

 

Fortunately, the brown marmorated insect hasn't arrived in great numbers in Camp Whitcomb or WI. Stink bug control isn't much of an issue yet. Yet it's only a matter of time.

 

Farmers hate them for more than their odor. The stink bug feed on tree fruits, vegetables, sweet corn and soybeans. Mid-Atlantic apple growers sustained an estimated $37 million in crop losses in 2010 to marmorated stink bugs.

 

The Asian invasive has a cousin that is native to the U.S. The brown stink bug looks a lot like the brown marmorated version, except the colors of their undersides are different. We somehow doubt you'll get that far identifying them, though.

 

Brown marmorated stink bugs like to winter inside Camp Whitcomb your house. If you step on one, you'll figure it out quickly. The nose knows. If you see more in your Camp Whitcomb house or yard, don't step on them – contact The Mosquito Guy to address their presence in a safe, non-smelly fashion.  Unlike these bugs, we'll never stink up your joint.
