The stink bug has been receiving a lot of press lately now that they are popping up in Brooklyn. Stink Bugs are common in China, Korea and Japan. They found their way to America by means of suitcases and products that are shipped from those countries. The Stink bug gets its name from the foul odor it emits when they are crushed. These stinky bugs are overwintering, which live in the cracks and crevasses of your home in the winter months, and will reappear when the weather becomes warmer. It’s not uncommon to see these pests in your home during these months. Rutgers Professor George C. Hamilton first knew about the stink bug entering America back in 1997, now this pest can be found all over the east coast, especially in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
The stink bug is similar to the western conifer seed bug.
Check out the New York Times article from 2007, and the New York Post’s article from earlier today.
