Stink bug control for Lowell, where an invasive species new to Arkansas is starting to show up alongside native look alikes.
Call (844) 924-1337Have you noticed stink bugs piling up on sunny exterior walls each fall around Lowell? University of Arkansas Extension entomologists say that's increasingly the brown marmorated stink bug, an invasive species that showed up along the East Coast decades ago and has spent the past ten years spreading across Arkansas.
Entomologists have warned that as this insect's numbers grow statewide, its fall habit of clustering on warm siding before squeezing indoors to overwinter will only become more familiar to homeowners. That's a distinctly different problem from the native stink bugs that have always shown up on local garden vegetables, and because the invasive population keeps shifting from year to year as it establishes itself, correctly identifying which one you're seeing matters.

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.
