How to make a solution to get rid of stink bugs?
what do you recommend for stink bugs. These bugs are super bionic. And stink to high heaven when touched or killed. Also beetles. They look like a lady bug but they are orange instead of red and they bite

Hi Veronica, I can't help with the stink bugs but where we're at in northern MN those fake lady bugs that bite are a real problem. I've found them to be strangely attracted to blue. A blue bowl filled with water and dish soap will attract them and kill them. Otherwise vacuuming them up once a day is a good way to deal with them.
They are horrible here to. If you are near farming, they release the beetles for crop pest control out of a helicopter. UGH!
Stink bugs things that have worked so far for me:
Lavender
Wet towel on the porch, lay at night and they will be attracted to it. In the morning, roll it up and put in a ziplock bag or other container, smash if you can stand it and the scent drives others away.
Soapy water in a spray bottle (but who wants that mess inside?)
Peppermint Oil Sprayed (also deters rodents)
I recently painted a room and used enamel paint on the trim. They didn't like that much and stayed away from that too.
Good Luck - please share if you find some thing else that works.
BTW: Don't suck them into a bagless vacuum cleaner unless you are ready to throw it away.
