Managing Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs on Fruit Trees

An Invasive Pest That’s Here to Stay

The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) has thrived in Georgia for several years. It feeds on a wide range of fruits, leaving corky, discolored patches that ruin market quality.

Control Options

These insects are tough to eradicate. Insecticides that may help include:

  • Spinosad – organic, low toxicity
  • Carbaryl (Sevin) – broad‑spectrum
  • Permethrin – synthetic pyrethroid

Always read labels for crop‑specific restrictions and pre‑harvest intervals. Monitor traps and scout regularly to time applications.
