Many insects are attracted to UV wavelengths preferentially. Stinkbugs might prefer IR frequencies.

At large scale (think again: ag), a low-power sensor-specific signal might be worth the overhead of a specifically-tuned IR emitter. This might also avoid collateral damage in attracting other insects based on a broader signal. In this case, the example of UV-based "bug zappers", now illegal in many areas, because they were too effective in attracting, and killing, insect life. To the extent that the insect's predator populations (including songbirds) were affected.
And, for greater irony: the zappers didn't attract the insects for which they were sold as a control device: mosquitos and other biting insects, which are instead drawn by CO2.

I don't want any of them to live, either.
At their worst, before I started caulking their hidey-holes, I would have to kill 20-30 a day. They may be lazy, but they flock to any heat and/or light sources, soaring down to disrupt all of my waking-time activities. I would literally have little reprieve from them swooping down on me while working on computer, watching TV, reading a book. I sure as hell do not want any of them to live: every one must perish, none shall pass.
They are just going to starve to death inside my apartment anyway, so surely I am doing them a kindness by drowning them in a vat of soapy death.
You could route the exhaust outside.
If you have a wet-dry vac, adding water + soap to the vac first will kill the bugs ingested. That should also help minimise the resulting stink, though you'll want to empty out the vac.
The vac approach is largely recommended only when you've found a large stash of the bugs.
I'm suspecting this either breaks down critical messaging / management chemistry, or carapace / cell-wall functions. I've had little luck determining or finding what the specific lethal mechanism is, though the method appears effective.
Upshot: a non-sudsing detergent or other fatty-acid denaturing agent should likely work. Formula 409 might work, ammonia is another possibility, though that in a shop-vac will have its own atmospheric issues (though the smell should dissipate in a well-ventilated area).
I'd arrived at the findings above through direct trial, after attempting a few others -- alcohol also works, though it's much more expensive.
Now I live in Michigan and have, anecdotally, watched their population skyrocket here. Last year my strategy was simple but worked well because I was diligent about doing it many times a day for a week or two until they were mostly all dead around my home.
I’d put on nitrile mechanics gloves and fill a 2 liter soda bottle with dawn dish detergent and hot water. Shake it up to get some bubbles going. Then I’d wander my home with the bottle collecting the bugs. They’d usually die instantly after getting stuck in the foam. You’d watch them eventually sink to the bottom. I’d either grab one off my home with my left hand (gloved!) or by gently squeezing the bottle, holding it near a bug, and releasing, it would almost suck those clumsy little bastards in with a gentle vacuum.
Put the cap on and let them surely die for a few days. Then pour it out in the corner of the yard and try again.
If I see one I won’t rest until they are all dead.
