We have them too. A true stink bug will stink to high heaven for over a day or two. Even if a car runs over it, it will leave its stink lingering in the air. When they are going to spray, they lift their little butts in the air. If you step on one, the stink will stay on your shoe for days. Don't have any idea how to get rid of them.

We get them here in Georgia, too. Ugh. Nasty, creepy things. So far they haven't been bad (knock on wood!), but last year they were horrible.
As far as how to get rid of them, I don't know. I've tried everything short of calling an exterminator! Bad thing is, we have cathedral ceilings, and they love hanging out up there, where they're not easily reached. Finally I got a handful of rubber bands and shot them down! It was funny, but it got them off the ceilings!

so after a pretty quick search (they were pretty high in google), i found an organic product that will kill them. stink bugs can be killed by using an organic product named EndALL. it contains an ingredient named pyrethrin which kills the stink bugs. This product is certifed organic by the USDA and worked very quickly for me. after they die (usually 30 seconds to a minute), you can then vacuum them up. but READ THE LABEL!!!!! you have to shake the product for it to work. i was not pleased the first time i used it and it didn't work. haha. so give it a shot and good luck

Just found this article on how to make a stink bug trap. Don't know if it will work or not, but it's worth a try!http://knowledgeweighsnothing.com/am...-bugs-a-night/
