Stink bugs can be repelled by certain scents, including essential oils and plants. Here are some scents that stink bugs hate:

• Essential oils: Clove oil, lemongrass oil, spearmint oil, and Ylang Ylang oil are a few of the essential oils that stink bugs find themselves shying away from.

• Plants: Plants like lavender, garlic, catnip, mint, citronella grass, and geraniums are among some of the best options for keeping stink bugs away from your home. The smellier the plant, the better.

• Dryer sheets: Different types of dryer sheets can also repel stink bugs from your home.

To use essential oils in a homemade stink bug spray, simply add 20-25 drops of oil (your choice, any combination of the oils listed above) to 2 cups of warm water and shake well. Spray the mixture directly onto any stink bugs you see. Another way to use essential oils is to diffuse them in an essential oil diffuser.

Its important to note that no scent kills stink bugs, but they can be repelled by certain scents.
