Is there a connection between the heat and getting the tomatoes off, or the "Worry Safe", pyrethrin and stinkbugs? Does pyrethrin (vs permethrin, which sounds like more than I want to use) help with stinkbugs?

I am just learning about stinkbugs. It sounds like if you find them in the yard, they will eventually be on plants. Does squashing help? I'm thinking of one of those bug vacuums.
