The stink bug is a real insect as noted in the comments.
A roly poly is a crustacea not an insect. Here are photos of them - http://bugguide.net/node/view/15961/bgpage

If you just have a few that have come in for the winter they are not going to cause any problems in the house...just drop them in a container of warm soapy water. Would not think you need to hire a pest control co and would not want you to have you house treated with chemicals for a couple of non-house pests!

I too have recently found these bugs in my home and indeed that is the stink bug I called my Pest control co.and have them on the case I feel very fortunate to have a big backup...I,ve heard these bugs are very hard to get rid of Good Luck.

Your insect may be the brown marmorated stink bug nymph. It is a young one so they are harder to tell, but the antenna have white bands that make me think that is what it is.
That particular stink bug has just recently been introduced into the U.S. from China and in China it is considered an agricultural pest. It sucks juices out of fruits of many plants...your photo shows it on the fruit of a Datura plant.

If this is the Brown marmorated stink bug, then they also can be a pest by coming into homes to overwinter.

Since W. Virginia just had a lot of snow I would assume that this photo was taken last summer? Or is it on a plant in the house?
