Used outdoors from April 1 through early fall, the RESCUE!® Stink Bug Trap lures these pest insects within a 30-foot radius using multiple pheromone attractants. The stink bugs crawl or fly to the trap, walk up the green ‘fins’ and through the cone, and get trapped inside the clear chamber where they dehydrate.

Where and How To Use
Click here for the "Dos and Don'ts" of placing the trap in spring, summer and fall.
The time of year and the stage of the stink bug life cycle will dictate the optimal placement of the RESCUE!® Stink Bug Trap outdoors. We recommend starting to use the trap on the first of April to catch adult stink bugs when they emerge from houses to start mating. In spring and early summer, the best place to hang the Stink Bug Trap is on the trunk of a deciduous tree. After mating, adult female stink bugs seek out leafy trees on which to lay their eggs. Other foliage and shrubs can be used if a tree trunk is not available. It is important that the clear tube be exposed to sunlight, while the green "fins" are touching foliage or secured to a tree trunk, post or stake. The extra twist ties can be used to secure the trap fins at the bottom. This creates a pathway for the juvenile stink bugs, which cannot fly, to crawl onto the trap.
In mid- to late summer, stink bugs target fruits, vegetables and other ornamentals, so place the RESCUE!® Stink Bug Trap where you want to protect these plants. Placing the trap at the edge of a garden will draw out the stink bugs or intercept them before they enter. Again, it is important for the green fins to be touching a tree trunk or foliage to allow the juvenile stink bugs to crawl into the trap.
In fall, to intercept stink bugs before they move toward homes, the trap should hang from a tree branch, stake or pole at eye level and 15-20 feet from the house. If the trap is placed in a tree or shrub, it is best to keep it clear from foliage for proper scent dispersal.
The optimum outdoor stink bug catch period occurs from April through October.
What People Are Saying
I have had my trap in the back garden of my house since early August, and thanks to the late heat of September, there have to be at least 30 bugs captured inside the trap. I highly reccomend this for anyone and everyone who has a problem with stinkbugs.
When I first saw the babies in early August crawling on my house, my husband went out and bought our first SB trap. We put it on our fence closest to the house were we saw the most babies. It took a few days...but boy it really started getting them. So we bought another! When we changed the the first one with the refill within 2 hrs we had another 50 in there it is really full now!! I hear people say.."Oh you are attracking them to your house"...NO I'm not....we had them so bad last fall and ALL winter that we really had to be proactive this fall. So far I must say we are doing alot better. Thank you for your product!!
I have the stink bug traps & are working, really filling up. I also bought the stink bug sspray & sprayed around the outside of my windows, doors, siding around my house - it doesn;t stain or smell, working great. only see a few on porch floor & spray directly on bugs. When I find the lights that are to go on the top I will put the traps in my rooms, especially the kitchen. That seems to be the room they really like, probably because its the warmest.
I purchased one trap at my local Busy Beaver. They also carried the refills, however did not carry the light that fits on top for indoors.
When my husband came home from work that night he was surprised to see that I had purchased the trap. He mentioned that when he stopped ay Costco for gas, they actually had one ontop of every pump and they were filled!!!!
We hung ours off the gutter as the back of our home is covered in the heat of the day. It has been three days and the one trp is almost completely filled. We will empty it today and I plan to buty several more.Thank you.
I put two traps in my vegetable garden late in July. The garden was totally infested; the stink bugs seemed to be systematically destroying my plants from the tip down or from the fruit up.
The first day, I was really disappointed, because there were no bugs in the trap. By the third day, the bugs were actually going into the trap. I did not replace the 2 week supply of attractant, but the traps continued to work well, perhaps because stink bugs are attracted to their own scent.
After a little more than a month, the stink bug population has decreased significantly, to the point that I am attacking the bugs I find with soapy water. The weather has also been cooler, so I will wait until next year before deciding whether the traps are sufficient to protect my garden without other intervention.
These traps work great. They did not work when I placed them in the tree but when I stood them on my back deck under the tree they quickly started catching the bugs. I highly recommend them.
This trap is absolutely awesome. My husband and I hung it outside our house in the backyard at the end of August this year and it trapped so many stinkbugs. We have a 5 month old daughter and I was so afraid of stinkbugs crawling on her in the house while she is asleep in her crib, now I dont have to worry so much. So far we have only had one stinkbug in the house. The trap catches them before they get in. This trap has given me so much peace of mind. We plan on buying one more to put near the front of our house. Will wait and see how it goes throughout the fall.Will post again at the beginning of October, great product!! Thank you!
Finally there is a trap out there that works!!! Put only one up outside by my pool and they started to enter the trap but I didn't want it that close to my home so I moved it over to a pole in my yard and it is so full of stink bugs my husband couldn't believe it!! So the other day I purchased 3 more of these traps and put them in different areas of my yard.
This works like a charm. I bought one and I'm going to get more. Within a day they were all over the area where we placed it and tons were in the trap. They were fighting to get into it. I dread the thought of emptying the trap but I'll get over it to kill as many of these rotten things as I can before they start coming inside for the winter again.
The Rescue Stink Bug trap does work if you position it correctly. I have 5 of them in my yard hanging in trees and bushes and all have caught stink bugs. The green fins must touch leaves or branches and it also works best in the sun. It might take a few days for the bugs to get to the trap but I have been very happy with the progress so far. I only wish that every stink bug went into the trap but since they congregate nearby as well, I can spray them with Dawn dish soap and water to kill even more.
