OK, this gave me a perfect solution! A combo of two ideas in the thread. I'll put it in the freezer for an hour, then dump them into a paper bag and burn them. I have a fire pit in the back yard, so who cares what it smells like...

Thanks everyone for your ideas!

Worked pretty good.

One paper bag with some crumpled up newspaper inside, sprinkle in stink bugs to suit. Roast on high for 3 minutes.  :popcorn:

Yep, it did smell pretty bad.

You didn't read the Wiki article I linked, did you?

The Chinese stink bugs showed up here near St. Louis a couple years ago.  I have been spraying them with Windex, picking them up with a napkin, and bagging them.

Hah, Wikipedia editors must be drunk - this is not new. Since I was a kid in the 1980s that I deal with these little stinkers in Brazil: both this and the green variants and were commonly called "maria fedorenta" or "maria fedida". Their smell is quite terrible, but if I recall correctly they don't spray unless they feel threatened (or when squashed).
