Stink Bug Trap Materials
To make a homemade stink bug trap, you’ll need to gather the following items:

- Razor blade or box cutter
- LED lights (RECOMMENDED: pack of three LED lights on Amazon for about $7)
- Black electrical tape
- White masking tape
Stink Bug Trap | Step-by-Step Instructions
Step One | With the razor blade, cut off the soda bottle just above the label, which is typically 1/3 of the top portion.
Step Two | Wrap the lower portion of the bottle with black electrical tape. This helps focus the light beam for maximum effectiveness.
Step Three | Put the LED light at the bottom of the bottle.
Step Four | Put the freshly removed top portion of the bottle upside down into the bottom portion of the bottle to create a funnel. (See Video for Visual Description)
Step Five | Add 4 strips of masking tape from the bottom to the top of the bottle so the stink bugs have a rough surface to climb. However, do not place the tape on the interior portion of the bottle as you don’t want these critters climbing out of the trap.
Step Six | With a pen or stick, press down on the LED light to turn it on.
Step Seven | Place the stink bug trap in a dark room at night, and in the morning review your collection.
There you have it! This is perhaps the easiest – and most effective – stink bug trap.
