Stink bug control for Paragould, a newer pest pressure as the invasive brown marmorated stink bug keeps working its way into Arkansas.
Call (844) 924-1337A decade or so after first appearing on the East Coast in the late 1990s, the invasive brown marmorated stink bug has been steadily working its way into Arkansas, and University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have already flagged the behavior homeowners should expect as it spreads: bugs collecting by the dozens on sun warmed siding each fall before pushing indoors to spend the winter. That's a genuinely new pressure for a city like Paragould, distinct from the native stink bug species that have always been part of the local landscape.
The practical question for a Paragould homeowner each fall is simply which stink bug is on the siding, the longtime native or the newer invasive arrival, and that answer keeps shifting year to year as the invasive population works out how established it's going to get in this part of the state.

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.
