Well, don't squish them! It will result in a gagging stench. This is what you should do to kill them:
Have a spray bottle, water, and some dish washing detergent. (Such as; Dawn, Cascade, Finish, Ajax, Joy, etc...)
What you do is:
Get the spray bottle. About half of the bottle should be filled with water. Then get the dish washing detergent and squirt some of that in the water. You should put about 5-6 squirts in. After that is done, spray the solution onto the stink bug(s) a few times and the bug will stop moving and slowly die.
Another thing to do is flush them down the toilet when you find them. Just grab them gently with tissue and drop them in the toilet. That is better than other alternatives such as mashing them or releasing them. If you release them, they will come back. They are prolific breeders and have a life expectancy of 8 years. You do not want their scent on you, since some people are allergic to it, and the scent contains pheromones which can attract more.

Treat your pets with frountline or advantage,they seem to work the best. Spray your carpets and furniture with an aerosol that contains a IGR (insect growth regulator). This type of spray will kill the adult fleas and also prevent the flea larvae from developing. Any other sprays are a waste of money.
Go to your local veterinary clinic and ask for some flea killer for your animals. Or you could go to Lowes or Wal-mart and buy 7 dust and sprinkle outside your house. It's spelled Flea's by the way.
