Stink bugs have had a busy month. The USDA
named them the top invasive species in America and scientists predict that the pungent pests will reach record numbers in 2013. The time is at hand to fight stink bugs.
Rod
Schneidmiller, president of Sterling International, developer of the RESCUE!® Stink Bug Traps advises that
early action is critical to break the stink bug life cycle.
“Stink bugs live
to eat and mate outdoors in spring and summer,” he says “It is important to start
using your trap outdoors by April 1 in order to catch the emerging adults before
they multiply. Over time, this will reduce their numbers so the amount that
could potentially get in the house next fall drops dramatically.”
To combat the
stink bug invasion, Sterling International scientists developed the RESCUE!® Stink Bug Trap to lure,
capture and destroy these pests. It’s the only solution that works both indoors
and outdoors, based on the stink bug life cycle and behavior in each
environment:
Indoors: Two factors cause stink bugs to wake
up from hibernation: when the stored food in their bodies is depleted, or when
outdoor temperatures rise. The latter makes them think it’s spring, and if it
isn’t yet, they will follow the heat sources to the warmer living areas of the
house. The RESCUE! ® Stink
Bug Trap can be used with the Stink Bug Light attachment in the attic to catch stink
bugs as they wake from their winter sleep.
Outdoors: Stink bugs eat, mate and lay eggs.
They ONLY do these things outdoors. The RESCUE! ® Stink Bug Trap is used outdoors with the pheromone
attractants to catch both adult and juvenile stink bugs during spring, summer
and early fall. Consistent use of the trap outdoors, starting in spring, is the
best way to stay on top of the stink bug problem.
