The brown marmorated stink bug has found a home in Oak Park prompting calls to the Village from residents expressing fear for our trees. A native of China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, the small shield-shaped bug has no interest in trees, but it can damage fruit and vegetable crops.
The issue in Oak Park tends to come in the fall as the bugs seek a place to winter. The good news is the nuisance pest does not bite, sting or carry disease, but it will stink if you crush it.
With no natural enemies about the only thing a property owner can do is try to keep them outside by caulking cracks and crevices around doors, windows, air conditioners and any other building access points.
If they do get inside, remove them by hand and discard outside or into a bucket of soapy water. Larger quantities of bugs can be swept up with a hand-held vacuum and dumped into a bucket of soapy water.
