Stink bug control for Harrison, where the newer invasive brown marmorated species is still being told apart from long familiar native look alikes.
Call (844) 924-1337Telling Harrison's longtime native stink bugs apart from a newer arrival has become part of the picture here. That newer arrival, the brown marmorated stink bug, first appeared on the East Coast in the late 1990s and has spent roughly the past decade extending its range into Arkansas, a spread that University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have confirmed.
Their research also points to a fall behavior specific to the invasive species: congregating on warmed exterior surfaces before pushing indoors to overwinter, a pattern expected to show up more often around Harrison as the population grows. Because that population's size and behavior are still shifting year to year while it settles into the state, a stink bug on the siding each fall isn't automatically the same bug Harrison has always had.

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.
