Taking On The Menacing Stink Bug
ResumeThe Brown Marmorated Stink Bug has been causing trouble for homeowners and farmers from New Hampshire to California for three years.

No predators are eating the invasive species fast enough to keep it under control. NPR's Alan Yu reports there may be a solution.
