VAN WYCK – Mighty in number and stench, the kudzu bug is the new pest in Van Wyck that residents just can’t seem to shake off.
Farms and homes near soybeans and kudzu, its plants of choice, have been invaded by thousands, if not millions, of the bugs that resemble ladybugs, but are muddy in color. They are attracted to light colors – everything from T-shirts to cars to vinyl siding.
