    My preferred option – catch them gently and take them outside alive – runs the risk that they’ll just find their way inside again

    Just make sure they’re not the invasive ones. I keep my old pill bottles, so the invasive stink bugs get sealed in a bottle and go in the freezer to kill them quickly without stinking the place up. Native bugs get released tho.

      Well damn. You’re right. The ones I’ve been releasing were all invasive ones. I didn’t think to check, but now I’ll have to revise my approach. Probably the freezer thing.
