Stink bug control for El Dorado, an emerging issue as the invasive brown marmorated species continues spreading into Arkansas.
Call (844) 924-1337South Arkansas is watching a genuinely new insect settle in: the brown marmorated stink bug. This is an insect that turned up on the East Coast during the late 1990s and has taken about a decade of spreading to reach south Arkansas. University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have documented the spread and describe a seasonal habit worth knowing: when the weather cools each fall, these bugs cluster on the warm side of a house before pushing indoors to wait out winter.
El Dorado has always had native stink bugs around, so the real change isn't that stink bugs exist here, it's that a second, invasive kind has joined them, and its numbers are still shifting as it keeps expanding across the state. That makes a fall stink bug sighting on your siding worth a second look, since telling the newcomer from a native look alike isn't always obvious.

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.
