Stink bugs

So I want to hear every ones favorite way to kill these horrible creatures. Personally I like to flick them into a wall. Usually they don't have enough time to stink my finger. My mother likes to drown them in rubbing Alcohol.
Oh by the way for you people down south that don't have them yet get ready. They eat everything they dine on my figs they really like my honey figs

Hey Celt.  
We allready have "stink" bugs. Haven't seen any of the Marmorated ones from up North yet. Thankfully.
I've noticed on several of my fig trees the big 'Wheel'Assassin bugs sitting in the shade between leaves waiting. UUUgly.
Saw one eating a brown stinkbug and another one eating a little wasp?.
I've heard tufted titmice will eat stinkbugs.
Online I saw a couple of simple DIY stinkbug traps.Might be worth trying.
We keep a lot of water and food for the birds maybe they will eat more bugs than figs.LOL.
Saw a herd of SBs on a red pepper plant so I guess they like scicey food. Sprayed them with safer soap.
Hopefully we can find a  way to limit the damage SBs do w/o killing every animal in the garden.
Later
Dave.

No recipes for stink bugs???

Cook them and they smell. I know that.

Here is an instructional video to make a trap. I have not made it yet but it looks good to me.

Brent I like it the theory is sound I will try that.
Noss well I found one crawling across my mothers electric range and said what the hell. Big mistake. The whole house smelled like some one made stink bug incense sticks and mixed with the smell of burning bug not pleasent at all. I have cought some in a sink plunger and Plunged the air out on my kitchen floor. But you can't see them.
