Stink bug control for Newport, where the invasive brown marmorated species is a newer arrival distinct from the town's native stink bugs.
Call (844) 924-1337A pest call in Newport increasingly starts with a question: is that stink bug on the siding one of Arkansas's longtime native species, or the brown marmorated stink bug, a newer arrival originally documented on the East Coast in the late 1990s? University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have confirmed the invasive version has been steadily moving into the state over roughly the past ten years, bringing with it a fall habit of collecting on warm exterior walls before pushing indoors to wait out winter.
Extension researchers expect that pattern to keep showing up more often as the invasive population expands, and its numbers and behavior have already been shifting year over year as it works its way further into Arkansas. That matters in Newport specifically because native stink bugs tied to garden vegetables and farm crops on the surrounding bottomland have always been common here, so the newer species isn't replacing a pest problem, it's adding an unfamiliar one on top of it.

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.
