Stink bug control for Van Buren, tracking the invasive brown marmorated stink bug's spread into Arkansas over the past decade.
Call (844) 924-1337Van Buren has dealt with native stink bugs for as long as anyone can remember, but the newest one on the scene did not arrive until fairly recently. The brown marmorated stink bug reached the East Coast in the late 1990s and has taken about ten years to work its way into Arkansas, a migration University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have confirmed and expect to continue.
Its fall pattern is what sets it apart: it collects on sun facing walls before pushing indoors to overwinter, rather than sticking to the outdoor habits of Van Buren's longtime native species. Because its numbers and behavior are still shifting as it spreads statewide, a bug spotted on a Van Buren home this fall is worth a proper look.

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.
