Fingers crossed I have not seen the lantern fly's in Michigan yet. Stinkbugs were more prevalent about 2 years ago, but not as much recently.
The stink bugs are my arch nemesis as their scent chemical is probably the most repulsive scent imaginable for me. It smells exactly like cilantro, too. When I lived in Virginia they were everywhere.
My stink bug weapon is a 2-liter soda bottle filled about 50% with warm water blended with dish soap. I fill a bottle with warm water, drizzle some soap inside, shake it up and it is good to go. I will walk around my home with the bottle slightly squeezed so that once I release the squeeze it creates a vacuum effect. I'll position the nozzle of the bottle right below the bug as I release and it sucks them in every time. They fall into a foamy bubble bath and die a silent death. I've collected hundreds of them with this method. Fortunately this year I have only seen 2 on my property.
protip do not use a vacuum cleaner to suck up stink bugs as it will essentially turn the exhaust port on the vacuum into a cilantro/stinkbug scent emitter machine
