Supposedly the release pheromones when squished, which then attracts more of them. Not sure if they are related to stinkbugs!

Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 2 days agoThey’re related to stinkbugs right? Smell bad when squished? I’ve never intentionally squished one.

My old house got tons of box elders and asian beetles. The side with the most sun would be absolutely caked on sunny fall and spring days. When they got inside, I’d use the vacuum with long extension hoses to suck them up. They have a smell but I would call it stinky – just kind of old and musty.
