Stink bug control for Fayetteville, tracking the invasive brown marmorated species as it spreads into northwest Arkansas.
Call (844) 924-1337Fayetteville is home to the University of Arkansas, so it makes sense that the extension entomologists tracking the state's newest stink bug problem are working right in town. The species reached the East Coast in the late 1990s and has spent close to ten years expanding westward into Arkansas since, and researchers have been documenting how it collects along the sun facing side of a house each fall before working indoors for the cold months.
None of that describes the stink bugs Fayetteville has always known, native species that have shared the landscape here for a long time. What's changed is that homeowners now need to tell two bugs apart on their siding each fall, since the invasive population is still spreading and its numbers keep shifting year over year as it works its way further into the region.

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.
