Stink and Leaf-footed Bugs
Stink bugs and leaf-footed bugs love to feast on pecans. These insects overwinter under fallen leaves, only to emerge in the spring and lay eggs on nearby crops, such as soybeans, or common weeds. When the eggs hatch, the larvae make their way to nearby pecan trees, where they latch onto the developing nuts and suck out the sap. If the shells of the pecans are not yet hard, the nuts will drop prematurely from the tree. If the shells have hardened, dark spots will appear on the kernel, and the pecan will develop a bitter taste. These pests are easily spotted with the naked eye. Once spotted, the tree should be treated with a powerful insecticide to kill the insects.

scab can also cause your pecan not to develop, if it is bad. Also, too much rain can cause your pecan to rot as well.

Liquid seven should take care of your bugs.
