    I have instructions for a trap that catches stink bugs, but I can't find a source for the pheromone lure. Any ideas? Those little guys made a mess of my peaches, and I'd like to keep them off my tree next year without chemical sprays if possible.

    I realized I could track down the person doing the experiment with the trap. Here's what he said:

    For anyone who's interested, here's the page that has instructions for the trap: http://ufinsect.ifas.ufl.edu/stink_bugs/stink_bugs.htm

    I read somewhere that stink bugs are attracted to other dead/decomposing stink bugs - perhaps devising a sort of trap using previously captured bugs?
