Sadly that big has been removed from it's home and placed into the wilderness. You're better off squishing them sadly.

Many bug's native habitat is actually inside your home, putting them outside is like sending them to die a slow death in Siberia instead

Oh that's a interesting thought. Thinking they evolved and adapted to live with us. Normally I only associate that with dogs and the like. Never considerd bugs.

How so they get in? I'm just minding my business. Having a good time, suddenly, stink bug. At my old house I had a jar with salt I'd capture them in.
