I battle stink bugs (squash bugs) every year and I grow about 500 squash and zucchini plants. With stink bugs the problem is by the time they infest your plants they are bearing which rules out most pesticides.
I have found the most effective controls to be sprinkling sevin dust around the base of the plant before it gets large. Once the plant begins bearing if you take your hose and thoroughly wet the plant on a sunny day, the stink bugs will climb to the highest leaves to dry off. I use wire plies to end their suffering but I will leave that to your imagination.
Once the plants stop bearing I hit them heavy with 50%malathion and within a few days I pull them and burn them.
Good ideas to try this year - thanks!! I love squash so I’m hoping to win the battle of the squash bugs!
