Stink bug service for Searcy, tracking the invasive brown marmorated stink bug's spread into central Arkansas over the past decade.
Call (844) 924-1337Fall in Searcy has always brought native stink bugs looking for a way inside, but the past decade has introduced a second, invasive species to watch for: the brown marmorated stink bug. First recorded on the East Coast in the late 1990s, it has been steadily expanding through Arkansas, a spread University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have confirmed while noting it would likely become a familiar fall sight as numbers rose.
The giveaway is timing and location: this species collects on sunny exterior walls before finding gaps to slip through as the weather cools. Since its population keeps changing year to year while it establishes itself statewide, a Searcy homeowner is better off identifying what actually showed up rather than guessing.

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.
