AFAIK for an unheated attic space you need the cross-ventilation.
Heat goes out and new fresh air comes in to replace it.
This airflow cools everything in the attic a bit by itself.

(there is insulation between the rafters so I'm confused where the heat envelope ends)
Even with insulation, it still breathes. **I hope no one would close up any attic ventilation. It would be a disaster. Daily cycle of heat / cool leads to condensation, hence water saturation and not escaping, then the mold sets in. Yikes-

Anyhow, regarding the OP and these stink bugs. I've never heard of them, but is there some repellent or pesticide available? Perhaps strategically place some traps?
