I've found as soon as I touch/disturb one, it excretes its stink oil onto my fingers. The smell also permeates the room a bit.
I beg to differ on the 'they don't want to be inside' bit. I think that's exactly what they want, since they tend to swarm enclosed structures in the Fall. I assume they prefer a climate controlled house during Winter like most other insects/animals would if given the option.
