Stink bug control for Farmington, as the invasive brown marmorated stink bug continues working its way into Northwest Arkansas each fall.
Call (844) 924-1337University of Arkansas Extension entomologists, working just up the road from Farmington in Fayetteville, have spent the past decade watching an invasive species, the brown marmorated stink bug, work its way into the state after first turning up on the East Coast in the late 1990s. That proximity means sightings around Farmington often factor directly into the same tracking researchers rely on as the population continues changing year to year.
What entomologists keep flagging is the species' habit of clustering on sun warmed exterior walls each fall before squeezing indoors to overwinter, a behavior that has nothing to do with Arkansas's native stink bugs, which have always been around without ever clustering that way. So a Farmington homeowner noticing stink bugs on the siding each autumn is increasingly dealing with the newer arrival rather than a familiar native visitor.

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.
