A friend just sent me an e-mail about cucumbers. Although it references grubs and slugs, perhaps it could pertain to stink bugs as well?? Hopefully! Anyway, I'm going to try it the next growing season. Could it be this simple?? I like the part where it drives pests crazy. They certainly drive me crazy with their munching and piercing.

"Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area."
