      Spray generously with Windex or other ammonia window cleaner. They will begin to writhe. Immediately sweep the bug into a dustpan and dump it outdoors. Brave people might actually pick it up in a paper towel after spraying but not me. This method prevents the smell. Never step on one.

    I get them in my house once in a while. So I gently coax the stink bug into an old prescription bottle and put the lid on tightly. It eventually dies and no stink!

    Cowboy.mari now that sounds like a great way to do it. I have enough pill bottles. And lots of stink bugs šŸœ this time of year. And lady bugs. I don't harm them.
