The brown marmorated stink bug has a bad reputation. Every summer, this pest attacks crops and invades homes, causing both sizable economic losses and a messy, smelly nuisance.

Moreover, stink bugs track their favorite fruits throughout the growing season in an effort to maximize their access to food.
