Stink bug awareness for Trumann, as the invasive brown marmorated species continues working its way into Arkansas.
Call (844) 924-1337The brown marmorated stink bug, an invasive species first documented on the East Coast decades ago, has been spreading into Arkansas over recent years, and University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have warned that its fall habit of gathering on sun warmed exterior walls before squeezing indoors to overwinter is likely to become more familiar to homeowners as its population grows statewide, Trumann included.
That's a genuinely new pressure rather than a longstanding one, distinct from the native stink bug species that have always turned up around area gardens, and it means an unfamiliar stink bug on a Trumann home's siding each fall is increasingly worth a second look rather than an automatic dismissal.

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.
