Lychee stink bug could threaten Taiwan's lychee harvest
The use of pesticides is also difficult because even though they might kill the bugs, they would also kill or at least scare off the bees essential to the lychee plants, farmers said.
Experts recommended two periods for treating the trees with pesticides, January-February before the warm weather sets in and October-November to reduce the number of stink bugs, while smearing glue at the bottom of the trees to prevent the insects from climbing back up.
