Well, don't squish them! It will result in a gagging stench and the smell can attract more. 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...)
Then 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.
