This initiative is part of a broader effort to control the pest, which was first detected in Turkey in 2017. The samurai wasp is a natural enemy of the stink bug. Turkey began breeding samurai wasps in 2023, releasing approximately 240,000 that year. Breeding numbers have since increased significantly.
