Stink bug control for Stockton, close to Central Valley almond orchards where the brown marmorated stink bug has become an emerging agricultural pest.
Call (844) 924-1337Almond orchards throughout California's Central Valley are dealing with a real newcomer, the brown marmorated stink bug, an insect once known mainly for East Coast home invasions and ornamental plant damage, now confirmed as an actual crop pest. Stockton sits right in that growing region, with farmland and orchard acreage bordering many of its neighborhoods, so what happens in the fields here has a direct line to what shows up at the house.
Every fall, the same population building up in those orchards starts looking for cracks around siding and window trim to spend winter indoors, and since researchers say the species' California range is still growing rather than stabilizing, Stockton residents near that farmland can expect the pressure to keep climbing rather than level off.
