Stink bug control for Maumelle, part of central Arkansas's growing exposure to the invasive brown marmorated stink bug's fall home invasions.
Call (844) 924-1337University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have been documenting a new arrival over the past decade: the brown marmorated stink bug, a species that only showed up on the East Coast in the late 1990s before working its way into Arkansas and prompting warnings that its habit of invading homes each fall would become an increasingly familiar sight statewide. For a city like Maumelle, built almost entirely after this insect had already established itself elsewhere in the country, that fall home invasion is a genuinely new pressure rather than anything tied to the region's native stink bug species, which have always been part of the Arkansas landscape.
The invasive species gathers on sun warmed exterior walls before squeezing indoors to overwinter, a pattern worth watching for on Maumelle homes each fall as the population continues establishing itself statewide. Identifying which species is actually present is part of an accurate assessment. Call (844) 924-1337 to discuss pest control help in Maumelle and check service availability.

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.
