stinkbugs on okra

With everything producing later this year the baby stinkbugs really got ahead of my okra. I don't see damage but once they get on them the production seems to greatly decline--e.g. harvesting from only every fourth plant when I go out every two days or so.
I have been spraying them with dish soap-y water which seems to kill them if you get a direct hit. But if I come back a bit later I see more that I missed. They are easy to squish but there's just so many out there in our stinkbug-infested area.
They attack the corn too, which is why we only plant the earliest-maturing varieties and plant as soon as we can.
any help or suggestions welcome, thanks
