Need help with STINK BUGS

We have had a few per day, but nothing like the asian beetles we had a couple years ago - hundreds per day. For the stink bugs, we just scoop them up ( I use a paper towel or something) and let them back outside. Asian beetles we vacuumed up several times a day and then set vacuum outside. ( Shop vac had enough suction it killed them).

A little butter and lemon juice and they make an excellent appetizer.

My wish is for you to have stink bugs, and then you might want to retract your sarcasm.

You missed the first part of the OP's post; "I'm deathly afraid of bugs and we are having a problem with these discusting bugs getting in the rv."
Here we have a person DEATHLY AFRAID OF BUGS (their words) camping, where there are lots of bugs. OMG bugs while camping

We have been having temps into the 40s at night and we have been inundated with them. They are EVERYWHERE! Last Saturday night, I saw 4 in the window in my bedroom. I mentioned them to DH as I passed him in the hallway. About 10 minutes later, he came through the house with a 16 oz soda bottle about half full of stink bugs. He probably had 125 bugs in that nasty bottle. He said there was a clump of them on the back side of our shades in our bedroom. SHOOOOOO!

They have no natural enemies other than humans, so I guess I have my job for at least another month or so. We are camping this weekend, so we will see how many we have in the 5'er.

very clever. hope he makes a gazillion bucks.

I just use a Dixy cup, put it in front of them and the crawl right in it, then take them outside and dump (sometimes takes a shake or two). A YouTube video I saw showed a 16/20 oz pop bottle with the top cut off and placed upside down, scrape them off the wall\ceiling and they drop right into the bottom. There are also commercial traps which you can place outside to try to at least reduce their numbers.

Sorry, but I'm afraid you're just going to have to tolerate their ability to get in. Too many nooks and crannies. We have been blessed this summer, however, with very few. Have found 3 or 4 now that we are traveling south once again. I have a "Bugzooka" that I used. It makes for quick catching because stink bugs are notoriously slow. Then dispose of them down the toilet.

It's useful for all kinds of bugs and spiders and doesn't require batteries or anything.

They are terrible and gross.
We are invaded with them every fall as we are right now.
I have tried every method and then the next fall there are just as many if not more right back.
I feel for you and will watch for any good method for getting rid of them.
