🔎 We need your help to look out for the brown marmorated stink bug this summer.
Keep an eye out around your home, work building, vehicles, machinery, shed and garden for this destructive nuisance pest – especially if you grow fruit or vegetables.
Brown marmorated stink bug is an economically damaging pest that could attack over 300 types of crops and ornamental trees and become a real nuisance for households if found in Victoria.
If you think you have found this pest (or any other unusual insect), catch it in a container and call the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline on 1800 084 881 www.agriculture.vic.gov.au/bmsb.
