Yes, assassin bugs eat stink bugs. The insects in question (Reduviidae family) feed upon beneficial arthropods and insect pests. They prey upon stink bugs (Pentatomidaefamily) by ambushing them, biting them, paralyzing them with saliva and swallowing them alive.

Yes, assassin bugs eat stink bugs.

Specifically, assassin bugs (Reduviidae family) feed upon other insects. They may not differentiate between an insect that is beneficial and one that is a pest when it comes to food sources. But they will eat stink bugs (Pentatomidaefamily) by ambushing them, biting them, paralyzing them with saliva, and swallowing them alive.

They are predatory to other bugs, but don't let them take over they have been known to eat other things & can actually live a long time. During cold weather they will want to get in.
