Stink bug control for Malvern, as the invasive brown marmorated species continues spreading into Arkansas alongside native look alikes.
Call (844) 924-1337Malvern homeowners dealing with stink bugs each fall may be seeing something Arkansas hasn't had to reckon with until fairly recently. The brown marmorated stink bug, an invasive species first spotted on the East Coast in the late 1990s, has spread into Arkansas over roughly the last ten years, a trend University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have tracked and confirmed.
As its numbers keep climbing statewide, entomologists expect its habit of clustering on sun warmed walls before squeezing inside to overwinter to become an increasingly familiar fall sight. That's a different story from Arkansas's native stink bug species, which have always been around but never behaved quite this way, and because the invasive population's behavior keeps shifting as it establishes itself further into the region, identifying which one is present is worth doing first.

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.
