In the summer of 2016, the brown marmorated stink bug was detected for the first time in agricultural crops in Wisconsin. They are able to travel great distances to reach and damage suitable crops, and often invade homes looking for a warm place to overwinter. This publication offers methods to mitigate BMSB damage, control populations, and keep BMSB out of homes. Source: Christelle Guédot, Janet van Zoeren, University of Wisconsin-Extension, 2017.
