Seeing shield-shaped bugs on your windows lately? That's the brown marmorated stink bug — and Long Island is one of the heaviest impact zones on the East Coast for them.
They don't bite or sting, but once they find a way into your walls or attic to overwinter, they're tough to get rid of — and they'll come back to the same spot next fall if the problem isn't handled right.
We put together a full guide: how to spot them (the shield shape + that cilantro-like smell are the giveaways), why Nassau County and Western Suffolk homes see such heavy pressure, and the licensed treatment window that actually stops them — mid-September is the deadline to beat.
