There was a few on the pavement trees, now they are coming into the house. I need to control them.

The stink bug I know looks very different. Or do you get lots of them?

Maybe one of the Assassin bug species. Possibly the millipede assassin bug. Not 100% sure.

When my wife see this guy's she start to make noises.Loud noises.
I found this recipe to control them.
Cooking Oil:
To help the solution stick a little longer, add two tablespoons of light cooking oil (such as corn, canola, olive, or safflower) per gallon of water to the mix.
Vinegar: To make a spray that also targets powdery mildew, add a teaspoon of cider vinegar per gallon of water to the mix.
Garlic or Pepper: To help repel chewing insects, add a teaspoon of ground red pepper and/or garlic per gallon of water to the mix.
Bar Soap: For a less-exact recipe, drop a bar of pure soap (such as organic bar soap or Ivory) into a gallon of water and leave it overnight. Remove the bar and shake well before spraying.
