Stink bug control for Stuttgart, where the invasive brown marmorated species is a newer concern than the native stink bugs that have always been around.
Call (844) 924-1337Stuttgart's rice and soybean country has long had its own native stink bugs, but a newer species has been moving into Arkansas over the past ten years: the brown marmorated stink bug, first seen on the East Coast in the late 1990s. University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have been tracking its advance across the state and expect it to become a more familiar sight to farm families as its numbers build.
What sets this newcomer apart is fall behavior: it congregates on sun warmed siding and outbuildings before slipping indoors to overwinter, rather than staying put outside the way Stuttgart's longtime native species typically do. Since the invasive population keeps shifting year to year as it spreads, a stink bug on a Stuttgart home this fall is worth identifying rather than assuming.

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.
