So far no luck on squash bugs. Put out 2 traps. Been there for 5 days. Total capture of 3 stink bugs and no squashies. I've killed approx 6 squash bugs on plants in this time frame. The'll get another week.

Thanks for taking the time to update on this subject Dave, you've saved me some money! I've yet to have success catching them (Squash/stink bugs) with any kind of trap.

My two traps have been out a week also.No squash bugs caught.One trap is next to a fp plant that Ive caugh a half dozen squash bugs out of.Looks like the bait isnt effective on squash bugs.

I did the same thing thinking it may pick up some of the squash bugs. Nothing.

As I picked some off my plants, I stuck them to the trap. According the trap instructions I have, the lure is 1 scent; however the captured bugs themselves release another scent. Both are supposed to work together to make the trap more efficient.

I have not caught any squash bugs on my traps.
