How to make a homemade stink bug trap

Stink bugs are a common household pest that can be a nuisance to deal with. One way to get rid of them is to make a homemade stink bug trap. Follow these steps to create your own stink bug trap:

Step 1: Cut the top off of a two-liter soda bottle. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the top off of the bottle, just below the curve.

Step 2: Invert the top of the bottle and place it back into the bottom half of the bottle. The spout of the top half should be pointing down into the bottom half.

Step 3: Secure the two halves of the bottle together with duct tape. Wrap the tape around the top and bottom of the bottle, making sure it is tight and secure.

Step 4: Add a small amount of water to the bottom of the bottle. The water should be just deep enough to cover the bottom of the bottle.

Step 5: Add a few drops of dish soap to the water. The dish soap will break the surface tension of the water, making it easier for the stink bugs to sink and drown.

Step 6: Place the trap in an area where stink bugs are present. Stink bugs are attracted to light, so placing the trap near a window or light source can increase its effectiveness.

Step 7: Check the trap regularly and dispose of any dead stink bugs. Depending on the number of stink bugs in your area, you may need to empty the trap daily.

By following these simple steps, you can create an effective stink bug trap that will help eliminate these pesky pests from your home.
