Green Lacewings will kill them.

U gotta get green lacewing larvae! The adults only eat honeydew so if u get adults it’ll do nothing for an infestation unless they stay and lay eggs and then their offspring will feast away like crazy til they molt into adult with wings!

*edit* Just realized u were talking about killing stink bugs! FYI green lacewing larvae will not kill them! They have few predators and require pest sprays to get rid of them! Only thing that could take them on is a mantis and maybe the minute pirate bugs! Prob is invader pests have much higher heat tolerance then predator insects! For aphids in the summer assassin bugs are only option due to predator mites drastically slowing down feeding above like 85F!

The adults kill stink bugs, aphids, mites, whiteflies, mealybugs, leafhoppers, and thrips AFAIK.

I just added a giant edit into my post

So, basically we need all of AFN to raise an army of Mantises(Manti?) to combat the stinkbug horde?
