I've squished them in a kleen-x and before I flush them say, "I'm sorry".

They are called stink bugs because they smell terrible if you crush them. The best way to kill them is to spray them not crush them in a tissue.

I read an article that said that a new AGGRESSIVE strain of stink bug is on the way. This new SB bites. Literally bite, not figuratively.

They are scary looking, a prehistoric bug w/ armor! They only stink when you smash them (which I don't). DS catches them and sticks them in a jar, to die. {#emotions_dlg.w00t}

Why not just put them back outside? That sounds sadistic to me.

The stick bug's main goal in life is to live in your house. Putting them outside only only makes them mad as they have been in your house and they like it there. They will return.

Gee, can't wait! {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

I have them on the inside, but my sister's new house is covered on the outside. It's nasty, they like the new brick and siding apparently.

That is sadistic as is catching fireflies and butterflies. They are harmless so just put them outside.

I flush them, why would I want them to continue having more babies?
