BMSB stink bugs
To prevent the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) from invading Australia and New Zealand, quarantine measurements are imposed on certain exported cargoes. These cargoes need to undergo treatment in the export country, before being allowed to be imported to Australia and New Zealand. Control Union is experienced in treating insects with heat in various modalities and is licensed to perform BMSB Heat Treatments under license NL40058B. We offer flexible BMSB treatments on a daily basis. Please contact us to learn more.

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
BMSB Treatment
What is BMSB?
The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Halyomorpha halys), or BMSB, is an invasive stink bug native to East Asia. It is found in Japan, Taiwan, China, and Korea, among other places. The bug has spread worldwide since the early 21st century and has become a major pest of vegetables and tree fruits in the United States. Annually, it causes millions of dollars of crop damage and pest management costs.
Heat Treatment
To export cargoes to New Zealand and Australia, these must be free of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB). All cargoes are suitable for application of BMSB treatments. Directly as 20ft and 40ft, OT, Out-of-Gauge or Flatrack, or LCL in our certified HT chamber. Containers or out-of-gauge and flatrack parcels are delivered on the trailer, which is uncoupled.
