Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a trap for stink bugs.
We seems to have hundreds on a high up window in our barn that I can’t reach - and yes the place stinks!!
Every so often we also get bombarded by what sounds like a flipping Chinook on a low fly-past
Any ideas @Rob_le_Pest ?
Hi, there isn’t a trap for punaises (stink bugs). Vacuuming, but they will stink more once agitated. One can spray an insecticide pour d’insectes rampant, or dust around the window frames, dust has a greater remenance than liquid.
Don’t annoy them, works for me. I am surprised if you can’t reach them that they do release their rather pleasing almond aroma. I catch mine, they are all in reach in a bottle and release them outside. They must know I mean them no harm as they never fart at me. 
I pick them up in a piece of toilet tissue and put them outside, especially if one is in my bedroom as tgey are very noisy, as you know to your cost.
I also pick them up in a sheet of toilet paper, then flush them down the loo.
Excellent. Give them a taste of their own medicine 
Me too
I refuse to kill anything that does not harm me or mine, even flies get herded out if at all possible.
Cheapo bagged workshop vacuum with a second hose bodged into the exhaust and run out of the nearest window.
Bugs go in the bag and the stink goes out of the window.
Otherwise, put 5cm of water in a bucket and give it a dash of washing up liquid. Knock bugs into a dustpan with your brush of choice and yeet them into the bucket before they can get stinky. Soapy water suffocates the little ***** and minimises the smell.
So mean, why would you a) murder a harmless creature and b) waste water?
Yes and yes.
I agree about wasting water as it is in short supply in some places, including where I live. Stink bugs aren’t particularly in short supply though.
Being an invasive species I am quite happy to do my bit to bring the balance of these horrible things.
Currently have approx 50 on a window I can’t reach.
I’m sure that you, as an invasive species, might think that’s a good thing - but they belong here 
and they are fascinating.
Sorry Vero, not sure they do belong here. Far from it … (from wiki, obviously with an American slant)
The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys ) is an insect in the family Pentatomidae, native to China, Japan, Korea, and other Asian regions.[2] In September 1998, it was collected in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where it is believed to have been accidentally introduced.[3] The nymphs and adults of the brown marmorated stink bug feed on over 100 species of plants, including many agricultural crops,[4] and by 2010–11 had become a season-long pest in orchards in the Eastern United States.[5] In 2010, in the Mid-Atlantic United States, $37 million in apple crops were lost, and some stone fruit growers lost more than 90% of their crops.[6] Since the 2010s, the bug has spread to countries such as Georgia and Turkey and caused extensive damage to hazelnut production. It is now established in many parts of North America, and has recently become established in Europe and South America.[7]
Like @Mat_Davies I’m dealing with 50 or so scattered around our gite and no matter how many I put out more appear. I am rapidly losing any goodwill towards them. And should I be putting them out alive when they are doing damage to crops?
I wonder if we are all referring to the same ones? The ones I am thinking of are the ones on the list, and halyomorpha halis isn’t on it. If indeed we aren’t talking about the same creatures then I apologise.
I’m talking about these and the brown ones, and the stripy ones.
Don’t think I have seen those here but no doubt they are on their way. I love the stripy ones but they never seem to come into the house.
We seem to have brown ones round here, although we aren’t plagued with them. I mainly see them after they are brought inside inadvertently on washing from the line. Don’t see the bright green ones at all.
The bright green ones I am told are the native species whereas the dark ones are the invading species from China. Where we are perhaps 1% are green.
