Stink bug control for Marion, where the invasive brown marmorated stink bug is a newer arrival distinct from Arkansas's native species.
Call (844) 924-1337Delta towns like Marion are seeing a pest that wasn't part of the picture a generation ago. The brown marmorated stink bug, an invasive species that made its way onto the East Coast in the late 1990s, has been steadily expanding into Arkansas for about a decade now, a trend confirmed by University of Arkansas Extension entomologists who have been tracking its spread across the state.
Entomologists expect its fall habit, clustering on sun warmed exterior walls before squeezing indoors to overwinter, to keep becoming more noticeable as the population grows. That sets it apart from Arkansas's native stink bug species, which have always been present but don't behave the same way, and because the invasive insect's numbers keep shifting year to year while it establishes itself statewide, telling the two apart on your siding matters 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.
