I made several variations of this before I saw this video. I would quickly recommend that a piece of light/thin cardboard be rolled around and taped to the bottom of the bottle instead of black tape and that it be long enough so that the light can be put UNDER it instead of inside it, this way you don't waste a light every time or play with the bugs to get the light back. What also works is get a big pot that you can fill halfway with soapy water and hang a light over it, a blacklight works best. I used an old fish aquarium, wrapped it in aluminum foil, a third full of soapy water, and put a blacklight in the hood. Trapped several hundred a week. I even took the globe off the light in our kitchen and hung a gallon-size plastic koolaid-type pitcher up with 3 small holes poked around the top and wire holding it to the screw-holes that the globe used. Filled it about a third full with soapy water and the bug went in while we were in the kitchen and the light was on, which was a lot of the time. Being careful when I untied the wire and I could just pour it all down a toilet.
I've made this for fruit flies before. For fruit flies you can put an orange slice in the bottom instead of LED's. You can also kill all the bugs by putting it in the freezer for 15-30 minutes.
OMG I really love the idea of scooping them with a smaller bottle! I have been keeping a roll of toilet paper near the couch and snatching and flushing the little bastards as soon as I see one - a satisfying sense of revenge, but a horrible waste of paper. I suspect you are going to get deservedly rich of this simple and elegant design. Best of luck to you - and THANK YOU!!
Cool. They are so gross. Online update... you tape the light on the bottom of the bottle. not inside. put water and dishsoap inside so they die. crush some stinkbugs and rub the smell inside the top. it attracts them better.
just crushed one of these little goblins on accident while moving it and dear god do they really stink. i hadn't crushed on in years so i forgot how bad they smell. i could taste it and my eyes starting watering. its the only bug my cats won't hunt, kill and eat.
I just love this idea and I am going to share it with everybody because we all have the dreaded stink bug and I am all in when it comes to saving money for better things like CHOCOLATE
I have done this 10 years ago, can even make one with a smaller pop bottle with to catch fruit flies. For this on add some pc of fruit in the bottom. It works. For Stink bugs walking up where you can't reach them, say on the ceiling use the same king of trap with a stick taped to it so you can reach them. Put some dawn dish soap in it with some water to drown them. I also use vinegar in the bottle to kill them. Then just stand the bottle up in a corner with the stick on it for next time. Good Luck ! 😉
Step 1 make stink bug trap Step 2 catch a few hundred Step 3 take outside and set on top of 1lb of Tannerite Step 4 shoot Tannerite Step 5 smile as you have exterminated the stink bugs and had fun while doing so.
There's been a bunch of people coming up with that same idea. I tried it, like some others said, the light didn't do anything. A couple years ago when it started, I found out the hard way they like folds of curtains. I flattened the folds out and there must have been 100 on one curtain. It was in my bedroom, that freaked me out. From then on I couldn't go to bed without thoroughly going over my whole bedroom. I eventually just took the curtains down every morning. They aren't as bad this year
Wow, I can't believe that was ten years ago. They are nowhere near as bad as they used to be, but I still probably kill one or two a day. I got lucky and didn't get the lantern flies, some places around me got them really bad.
Don't forget to seal every space in and around your window air conditioners, especially those stupid expanding panels to cover the window opening, SB love to use them to gain entrance. Also stop running those chasing those pesky Starlings away, they love SB for dinner.
I fucked up this one stink bug that I randomly found on my curtain . I hit him with a mortal combat sub zero move. I flipped a can of electronic duster spray and spray him with that. I put it in a cup and it made a tink sound and threw it in the toilet, it like made a psss sound when it hit the water lol 😂 tried to avoid winter gave him and artic blast
That's BRILLIANT... Could have used this about ten years back when I was actually Attacked and sprayed by one at work... Their spray not only stinks like Sort in CHEESE... If your unfortunate enough to get sprayed it also BURNS... This year their attacking my patty pan squash .. Quite Honestly I'm in no mood to share it with them.
We have been using this trick to trap bees at our fruit stands in Venango County PA for 7+ yrs now only difference is the stuff used to attract them into the bottle but same set up! Everyone was so amazed by the idea I wonder if he was one of our customers at one time! Lol
Maybe the keywords are that he used his concoction in his daughter's bedroom "INSIDE" his home. I, for whatever reason, thought it might help control the stink bugs that swarms outside my home trying to get inside. Negative!
@jejozi You have no idea. My wife and I probably killed at least 500 last year. No exageration. But this trap they show in this video didn't work for us. We use a spray bottle with soapy water.
Don't flush them down the toilet. They could survive that. Put them in a plastic bag, take them outside far away from your house, step on them until they are mush, then release their remainings in the wild.
Honestly you do not need the led light and as for smashing a Couple of the bugs that brings more to your location. When you catch them they do eventually dry up and die - they do smell still but the live bugs are drawn to the smell. To keep the live ones in the bottle use a golf ball or cardboard. I personally would not want to smash them and then have to touch them (yuck) but each his own...
Does this just work in the Spring when they are coming out of the house? I made one this Fall and have used it several nights in rooms that definitely have stinkbugs but have not caught a single one. Someone told me they are not interested in anything right now (lights, phermones, etc), just want to find a place to hibernate.
I caught one and managed to put it in a bottle halfway full of water and forgot bout it , I looked after a week and the thing was alive under water and the bottle was sealed wtf
and i dont get the ladder part. if they can climb the plastic on the inside of the bottle what good is putting tape on the outside? this is simply a catch. toilet paper or tape does the same thing, just as much labor without the stink.
its not his idea. He saw it at Home Depot where he buys the exact light that was shown in a StinkBug catching display exactly where I and millions of others have seen the EXACT same design AND there are thousands of videos about this exact same 'design' for years......

I was lying down to go to sleep and heard this loud ass fighter jet noise. Next thing I know there is a stink bug chilling on my head.

James thank you for sharing this!!!
There's a stink bug just chilling on my door handle... I can't even fucken leave my room because I HATE bugs
Human ingenuity at it's finest! Thanks for the great idea. Can't wait to have this help us out.

you can get those LED lights also at a Dollar Tree store
I will be using these in my garden, they kill everything from tomato to squash. Thanks for the idea!
I love that!! What a thinker! Very creative idea. I hope he makes a great profit from it.
been doing this for like the past 2 years lol
just crushed one of these little goblins on accident while moving it and dear god do they really stink. i hadn't crushed on in years so i forgot how bad they smell. i could taste it and my eyes starting watering. its the only bug my cats won't hunt, kill and eat.

LOL, the way the reporter uses Julian's talk: "ladders," and "show is over,"...
You could also simply fold a piece of paper in form of a funnel with a little opening at one end and put that into any vessel you want.
Wow, very smart!!!! Thank you so much

"Stink Bug Rehabilitation" is another handy video on this subject!
Thank you sooooooo much!
awesome idea thank you so much for sharing!!!!

They aren't as bad this year
deff in the curtains

POINTS OFF for using "Best (something) EVER" But I'm gonna try this out! Thanks!

What did you put in the bottle for bees?
Remarkable,, I will surely try this,,, Now I need a way to get rid of gnats, can't even eat sometime without being afraid I will eat one.
The same trap will work for fruit flies, when you put a little apple cider and vinegar in the bottom.
I gotta make a couple of these.
I built one and it worked well but the batteries kept dying so I added an AC adaptor. Now it runs 24/7
It seems more economical to put the led light in a canister and put the bottle on top.
Maybe the keywords are that he used his concoction in his daughter's bedroom "INSIDE" his home. I, for whatever reason, thought it might help control the stink bugs that swarms outside my home trying to get inside. Negative!
It still might if you set up a perimeter around your house with big enough bottles.
Wow...
@jejozi yes, yes it is
@jejozi You have no idea. My wife and I probably killed at least 500 last year. No exageration. But this trap they show in this video didn't work for us. We use a spray bottle with soapy water.

One thing.... If I was him. I would get an exterminator. Yes, his trap is great I would use it. But, I do not think the trap can handle that much.
That guy has a serious stink bug problem.
I tried, the bugs crawled out of the bottle
Does this just work in the Spring when they are coming out of the house? I made one this Fall and have used it several nights in rooms that definitely have stinkbugs but have not caught a single one. Someone told me they are not interested in anything right now (lights, phermones, etc), just want to find a place to hibernate.
If it had that many bugs of any kind in my house i would freak out and move! Hell NO!
I caught one and managed to put it in a bottle halfway full of water and forgot bout it , I looked after a week and the thing was alive under water and the bottle was sealed wtf
They can live a long time unless they drown in the water.
you need to add soap
would a tea light work? it may not last as long but it'd sure be cheaper..
What to do with it later? Its a stink bomb.
and i dont get the ladder part. if they can climb the plastic on the inside of the bottle what good is putting tape on the outside? this is simply a catch. toilet paper or tape does the same thing, just as much labor without the stink.
same thing has been used for wasps and hornets.
@Cdolbs89 hey buddy, try this, mix soap, water, windex, and rubbing alcohol
What about the flying ones? Couldn't they just fly out?
Theoretically, yes. But bugs are stupid. Unless it was by pure chance, they'd never make it out of that tiny hole.
Scámarca Productions True
its not his idea. He saw it at Home Depot where he buys the exact light that was shown in a StinkBug catching display exactly where I and millions of others have seen the EXACT same design AND there are thousands of videos about this exact same 'design' for years......
Julian smith lol
0:54 - Catloaf.
How about taping the light to the OUTSIDE of the bottom of the bottle?
That trap didn't work for me
I tried it and did not work.
Made 6 of these. Doesn't work very well and burned through a lot of batteries. Too bright to sleep with. There has got to be another way.
doing the rubbing alcohol for years if they come in my house they are DEAD!!!!!
Never caught any
Didn't work
another MADE IN AMERICA product ^_^
Ahh the stuff we deal with to keep importing from china...
Totally worth it when you consider that what we are also importing is our high standard of living.

The light probably attracts more as the smell just attracts them to the general area
