Stink bugs originally from Asia have invaded America and caused significant financial damage. A 2011 study found apple growers lost $37 million and stink bugs have cost the US $1.7 billion in government spending and $803 billion in reduced property values annually. Over 200 stink bug species damage crops like fruits and vegetables, harming farmers and businesses while benefiting exterminators and pesticide companies. Methods to control stink bugs include LED lights and chemicals.
