We may be out of the high-risk season for BMSB but that’s no reason to stop being on the lookout.

KVH and other horticultural product groups are working together to keep the BMSB profile up over the winter months. Online advertising (including news websites, Metservice and On Demand TV services), social media and posters are all being used to help get the message out about the lifestlye impacts of this unwanted pest.

The ads focus on the fact that BMSB hibernates inside homes in the winter, can infest homes in the thousands, stinks when crushed, and is almost impossible to get rid of.

Look out for the ad in your next Kiwiflier and follow KVH on Twitter and Facebook to see more.
