EPPO Reporting Service (2008/199) and EPPO Reporting Service (2008/200) : first record near Zürich in summer 2007 and addition to the EPPO Alert List. This was considered to the the first record for Europe (however, it was later found that a specimen had been caught in 2004 in Liechtenstein at Balzers).

EPPO Reporting Service (2013/109) : in the city of Zürich, the number of inquiries concerning H. halys made by the general public has significantly increased from 2006 to 2010. The insect is now also recorded in the cantons of Basel-Stadt, St. Gallen and Schaffhausen.

EPPO Reporting Service (2013/245) : at the end of summer 2012, damage caused by H. halys was recorded in capsicum crops grown under plastic tunnels.
