They are ground beetles, so just about any granular would be a good call or a power spray.

----------

stink bugs are true bugs that are plant pests rather than a ground beetle (insect)...any general insecticide will kill a stink bug when they are sprayed, but residual products are just not real effective at stopping them...one of the better ones will be an insecticide containing cypermethrin, viper is one brand name found at hardware stores

Any insecticide containing permethrin or any of its derivatives should help. However, you may need a "spreader sticker" to help any spray you use to stick to them. If you mix up an insecticide spray, adding some dish detergent should help. These bugs are thick and leathery and it is hard for insecticides to get to them.
