Stink bugs can cause great problems to anyone growing plants, may it be vegetables, fruits or ornamental. Typically less than an inch long, light to dark brown in color, and have a shield-like back, these insects seem quite harmless. However, one must not be fooled as these insects can easily ruin a crop even before the farmer can market or sell it, in addition to the fact that they literally stink. Numerous kinds of stink bug traps have been invented and developed to control the damaging effects of these little creatures on plants.
Searching the internet, you will find numerous stink bug control products that you can choose from. Some products are either for indoor or outdoor use while there are others that can be used both inside and outside the home. Outdoor stink bug traps generally contain an attractant that lures stink bugs into the container. Once inside, the stink bugs won’t be able to get out. Without any source of food and water inside the trap, the insects will soon dehydrate and eventually die. The attractant inside the trap can last for approximately two weeks and can be easily replaced once the scent is gone.

An example of an indoor stink bug trap is the stink bug light. It uses a scent lure, a black light, liquid and soapy water. You need to plug it in. Another example is the sticky trap which provides a tape with a sticky adhesive. This adhesive is sticky enough to trap any flying or crawling insect that comes in contact with it.
