Stink bug service for Forrest City, tracking the invasive brown marmorated species as it continues spreading into Arkansas.
Call (844) 924-1337Not every stink bug seen around Forrest City is the insect it used to be. Alongside native species that have always lived in the area, homeowners are now also dealing with the brown marmorated stink bug, an invasive newcomer first found on the Eastern Seaboard in the late 1990s that has spent the last decade making its way into Arkansas.
University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have confirmed that spread and describe a fall ritual worth watching for: the invasive insects cluster on sun heated siding before slipping inside to ride out the cold months, a habit growing more common as the population expands and keeps changing year to year while it settles into the state. That's why a Forrest City stink bug call increasingly starts with figuring out which of the two species is actually on the siding.

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.
