Stink bug control for Bentonville, as the invasive brown marmorated species continues working its way into northwest Arkansas.
Call (844) 924-1337Brown marmorated stink bugs are a fairly recent arrival in Arkansas. The species was first documented on the East Coast in the late 1990s, and it's only been within the past decade that University of Arkansas Extension entomologists confirmed it had reached this state, bringing with it a fall habit of collecting on sun warmed walls before pushing indoors to overwinter.
Extension researchers expect Bentonville homeowners to see more of that pattern as the population keeps growing, since it's a genuinely new pressure rather than one tied to the native stink bug species that have always shared the landscape here. In practice, that turns most fall stink bug calls into an identification question: is it the newer invasive species on the siding, or a native look alike?

Sealing gaps around windows, doors, siding, and utility lines is the main way to reduce how many get inside, especially heading into fall. Checking exterior gaps can reveal entry points that are easy to miss during routine cleaning indoors.
Yes, professional treatment focused on exterior entry points can meaningfully reduce how many stink bugs get inside. It generally works best when paired with sealing work rather than indoor pesticide alone.
For stink bugs already inside, removal, like vacuuming or capturing them, rather than crushing them, is generally recommended to avoid the odor. Addressing exterior entry points is important for reducing repeated invasions; discuss those areas during an inspection.
The approach is largely the same as general stink bug control, focused on sealing entry points and exterior treatment, since this is the most common species found seeking shelter in homes. Identification helps confirm which insect is present before any control measures are chosen.
