Stink bug control for Jacksonville, watching for the newer invasive brown marmorated species alongside stink bugs that have always been around.
Call (844) 924-1337If stink bugs are collecting on your Jacksonville home's siding this fall, there's a good chance it's a relatively new arrival to Arkansas rather than the native species that has always turned up around backyard gardens. The brown marmorated stink bug first turned up along the East Coast back in the late 1990s and has been expanding into Arkansas for roughly a decade, a spread University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have confirmed.
Its calling card is gathering on sun warmed exterior walls before squeezing inside to overwinter, a habit entomologists expect to become more common as the population keeps growing across central Arkansas. Because that population's numbers and behavior are still shifting year to year, telling it apart from a native look alike is worth doing before deciding on treatment.

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.
