Found: A Way To Get Rid of Stink Bugs?

Posted by Stefanie Gonzales in Home Improvement World

Stink bugs have flummoxed home owners and bug experts alike. Conventional bug sprays don’t work, fumigation doesn’t work and if you try to squash them…well, you’ll soon find out why they are called stink bugs. But has a homeowner in the Philadelphia area found a way to trap stink bugs?

To get rid of stink bugs, start with a trap. First, cut off the top of a 2-liter bottle of soda. Then, invert this top inside the “body” of the soda bottle (it’ll look like a funnel), taping to secure. Next, completely cover the outside of the bottle with duct, electrical or masking tape. Fill the bottle with 1/8 cup of water and 1 tsp. of dish soap. Place the trap on top of a solar light…and wait. For the full how-to, visit MSNBC.

Have you ever tried to get rid of stink bugs? Do you have any tips?
