There are many YouTube videos discussing different types of traps. The homemade version (on the cheap) that looks good is here. A commercial (home made and a little pricey) is here. The Pittsburgh area had quite the invasion this past year.

Last fall I was installing LED lighting in my two story kit barn and found "hundreds" had crawled behind the wooden gusset plates. It was something like out of a horror film. Bug bombs worked, but it was very unpleasant. Thank you China.

There is a wasp native to China called Trissolcus halyomorphae. I don’t know what the layman’s term for the wasp is. It’s a natural predator to this kind of stink bug. I think we ought to import a few.

Thanks, long but good video - I wondered why he did not tape the light to the outside bottom but it seems to work well the way he did it.
