TL;DR: Pesticide applications, including broad-spectrum insecticides, have increased in response to H. halys infestations, potentially negatively influencing populations of beneficial arthropods and increasing secondary pest outbreaks.

TL;DR: Broad use of diverse plants is found in this study, identifying 88 host plants used by all life stages of H. halys and how the selective planting of non-hosts, especially gymnosperms, may aid in reducing the agricultural and nuisance pest status of this invasive insect.

TL;DR: Results highlight that in landscapes with highly heterogeneous and ephemeral resources, H. halys specializes on finding mature fruits, and can be controlled by designing landscapes with fruitless varieties of popular trees, exploiting phenological mismatches between the pest and its host plants, and through targeted management of H. Halys on fruiting trees in the landscape.

TL;DR: It is shown clearly that spatial factors, especially distance from edge, strongly influence H. halys abundance in nurseries and monitoring efforts and intervention tactics for this invasive pest could be restricted to field edges, especially those close to soybean fields.

TL;DR: Several RTU insecticides in the marketplace demonstrated potential to help gardeners manage H. halys, and in general, nymphs were more susceptible to insecticides than adults.
