Here's how I deal with stink bugs. Empty 2 litter soda bottles. I keep one in each room and it's ok if the bottle has a bit of soda left. You can remove the label to be less visible to the bug and to know what the bottle is for. As soon as you see a stink bug catch it into your bottle. After catching a few you'll be a pro at it. They like to just drop so if you angle the bottle just right they fall right in. All you have to do is close the bottle. Most of the time If you careful they wouldn't get a chance to get spooked and do their thing :-). After a while just trash that bottle and switch to a new empty bottle.

I keep a cup besides the sink, when you see one, or a few. Just grab the cup, put some liquid dish soap in the cup, fill cup halfway with warm water, then knock them into it. The soap and water keeps their pheromones from spreading, and they cannot get out. The soap clogs the porous exoskeleton that they breath through and they die... Can use multiple times or just pour and flush into toilet.... The one I keep next to the sink is marked "soap cup" so nobody in the house thinks it is theirs and uses it by accident

that's a very good idea i was going for the not having to touch it approach but the dish soap is genius. and i do know you dont have to use your hands to knock him in but still

Here's how I handle the stink bug situation... I pick it up using the sticky side of a piece of duct tape. I fold the tape over the stink bug, sealing it inside the tape without crushing it, then it goes in the trash. I'd say that the key to no smell is minimal handling.

ok, that's why i made the thing to be like it is so all you have to do is scoop it up and enclose it so you can safely remove of it. but that's a good idea
