Some of our...Thank you for your very helpful post! Some of our pears here in Utah had catfacing and I have been thinking it was stinkbugs. We sprayed with dormant oil late winter before budbreak, and I was trying to figure out where they were coming from to help control it next year. You answered my question. My husband had left a rather large pile of grass near our apricot tree, which is right next to our pear tree, and I noticed quite a lot of box elder bugs all around it when harvesting our apricots. We also have a huge open field adjacent to our property. Going to get it all cleaned up and then hopefully, won't have this problem next year! Thanks again for sharing your insights!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
