Stink bug control for Jonesboro, as the invasive brown marmorated species continues spreading into new parts of Arkansas.
Call (844) 924-1337A pest that didn't even exist in Arkansas a generation ago is now something University of Arkansas Extension entomologists actively track: the brown marmorated stink bug, first documented on the East Coast back in the late 1990s, has spent the last decade working its way into the state, including into Northeast Arkansas. Extension's warning about the species centers on a specific fall habit, clustering on a home's sun warmed siding before finding a gap to slip through and overwinter indoors, behavior that's expected to keep showing up more often here as the population keeps growing.
That's a distinctly newer pressure than the native stink bug species that have always turned up around Jonesboro's home gardens and farmland, and because the invasive population's numbers keep shifting year to year, a stink bug call here increasingly means confirming which species is actually on the siding before deciding how to treat it.

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.
