Idk if scooping them up and putting them outside is scary, but I’m told people can smell them just from being in the same room with them, or crushing them, and I’ve done (or been near) all of the above yet never smelled one. And they’re constantly sneaking in my house so I should have by now I think.
Though when I do, I do smell it, and I shower regularly, and it only comes up when talking about stinkbugs, so I’m doubting your hypothesis regardless.

It’s smarter to release them back outside because crushing them releases a pharamone that attract more stink bugs. Ants and bees do the same too.

Maybe it’s you who has bo and just can’t smell it. Everyone else has been hinting.

Do stink bugs smell like BO?
