Stink bug service for Conway, as the invasive brown marmorated species continues working its way into central Arkansas neighborhoods.
Call (844) 924-1337Not every stink bug spotted on a Conway home's exterior is cause for concern. Arkansas's native stink bug species have always been part of the local landscape, and their numbers don't shift much from year to year. What's different is the brown marmorated stink bug, an invasive species first documented on the East Coast in the late 1990s that University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have confirmed is now working its way into the state, with its population changing as it continues establishing itself statewide.
This species' fall home invading habit, gathering by the dozens on sun warmed siding before squeezing indoors to overwinter, is expected to grow more noticeable as those numbers climb, and Conway's older homes near downtown, with more gaps around siding and window trim than newer construction, offer an easier way in once it arrives.

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.
