I can't believe no one has come up with this before now.
I've been using one for the last 15 years to trap gypsy moths, works great!

If it works - I'll be ecstatic!

Last year was the worse year for bugs I've ever seen, starting with moths, jap beetles but the worse were the stink bugs! In the late summer, thy were literally plastered to the side of the house. And still, once per week I find one inside somewhere...

I'm looking forward to this device! Thanks for sharing!

Hopefully it works better than the big purple thing they made for the Emerald Ash Borer.

They are hanging all over the county and have yet to trap much if any. Yet the bugs HAVE been found in the trees.

Says it won't be available till July. I get SB's here in late summer, and fall, so maybe I will be able to try it out, if it does become available.

Looks like it will be about half the price of these:

For stink bugs, I took the advice I hard on the forums- I took my hand-held shop vac with my when I went into the garden and sucked up any I saw. It helped keep the numbers down.
