Pesticides are a last resort. I'm not sure how bad the problem is, but if they're in between the baseboards and flooring (where there is a gap), maybe try vacuuming around the perimeter. I've seen others mention that the bugs don't like bounty dryer sheets. Chemicals might be required if there are too many but a few should be easy enough to get rid of.

This was in the news this past week and might help:
Virginia Tech Researchers Find The Best Way to Catch Stink Bugs
"This is just a turkey pan that you purchase from your grocery store. Add a half a gallon of water and some Dawn dish detergent. Then, shine a desk lamp on the pan of water. The cost of this trap is around 7 dollars versus the other light traps that are as much as thirty to fifty dollars," says Aigner.

His research involved placing the pan of dish water with the light shining on it in a dark room for twelve hours at a time from 7:00 at night until 7:00 in the morning.
