The BMSB is known as the brown marmorated stink bug, or stink bug for short. It is a native of China, Japan, as well as Taiwan. Back in the late 1990s, the stink bug managed to make its way to the United States and is an agricultural pest with the ability to do some real damage.

 

The impact it is having on the shipping industry is widespread. Countries such as Australia are requiring shipping containers to receive treatment, pest control applications, to ensure the stink bug does not make it into their country. With the stink bug, it can do a lot of damage and is at its peak between September and May. The stink bug and its potent potential are forcing the shipping industry to be more proactive than ever regarding pest control.
