    Abstract: A stink bug trap can include a first housing, a container that supports the first housing and extends from the first housing along a first direction. The container can include a body and a channel extending at least partially through the body along the first direction. The channel can be separated into an entrance chamber and a trapping chamber. The stink bug trap can further include a first stink bug attractant configured to lure stink bugs into the entrance chamber and a second stink bug attractant configured to lure the stink bugs from the entrance chamber and into the trapping chamber. A barrier that separates the entrance chamber from the trapping chamber is configured to substantially prevent the stink bugs from moving from the trapping chamber back to the entrance chamber after the stink bugs have been lured into the trapping chamber.
