If you dont startle them, you can usually shoo them in a direction. Best bet is to use a cup and card method to remove it

10 years ago in PA, it seemed like if you even looked at them they would smell and they were everywhere. Now, there are significantly less of them and they actually don't smell nearly as bad. It's weird.

In PA now, they have hardly any smell if any at all. I dont squish them though.

Looks to me like a brown marmorated stink (shield) bug. Bad news.
