Stink bug service for Magnolia, tracking the invasive brown marmorated stink bug's spread into new parts of the state.
Call (844) 924-1337Arkansas's native stink bug species have always been part of the local landscape, typically showing up around garden vegetables rather than gathering in large numbers. What's changed over the last decade is the arrival of the brown marmorated stink bug, an invasive species that made its first appearance along the East Coast back in the late 1990s and is now confirmed by University of Arkansas Extension entomologists to be spreading across the state.
Unlike its native counterpart, this newcomer gathers on sun warmed exterior walls each fall before squeezing indoors to overwinter, a behavior entomologists expect Magnolia homeowners to see more of as the population continues to grow. Since the invasive insect's numbers and habits keep changing year to year as it settles into new areas, figuring out which species is actually on your siding is worth doing before 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.
