Field tests show that nets are the only way to prevent it from invading the orchards.
Arrigoni S.p.a., a leading company in the production of nets for biological and climatic control, developed Iride Uva - a single-thread HDPE net for the control of Halyomorpha Halys.Iride Uva is the anti-stink bug net suitable for both orchards that already have anti-hail nets and for single-thread installations.

Anti-hail warp-knitted fabric, dense weave, weight 70 g/m2, hole dimension 7.1 x 1.7 mm
The virgin HDPE filament of European origin, hole size (mm. 7.1x1.7), type of weaving, elasticity and warp-kitting make Iride Uva the most effective and functional technical means against stink bugs. In addition, the net also works against codling moths.
The results obtained in the fist commercial orchards were excellent.
