Stink bug control for Clarksville, where a fruit growing history makes the spread of an invasive agricultural pest worth watching closely.
Call (844) 924-1337Peach orchards and other agricultural acreage around Clarksville sit squarely in the path of a pest that didn't use to be here: the brown marmorated stink bug. First identified along the East Coast in the late 1990s, this invasive insect needed roughly ten years to work its way into Arkansas. University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have tracked that spread and cautioned homeowners about a seasonal habit unique to the species, clustering on sun warmed siding each fall before slipping indoors to spend the winter.
Native stink bugs have always turned up around Clarksville farmland, so this isn't really about a new bug showing up, it's about two different bugs now overlapping. Because the invasive population is newer and its numbers keep shifting from one year to the next as it continues settling into the state, telling the two apart on a home's exterior each fall has become part of the job.

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.
