Stink bug service for West Memphis, tracking the invasive brown marmorated stink bug's slow spread into eastern Arkansas.
Call (844) 924-1337West Memphis sits close to the state line, and that eastern position has put it in the path of an invasive insect working its way across Arkansas for roughly the last decade: the brown marmorated stink bug, which first turned up on the East Coast in the late 1990s. University of Arkansas Extension entomologists have documented the advance and flagged the species' habit of clustering on sun warmed walls each fall before squeezing inside for winter.
That behavior sets it apart from the native stink bugs long found around West Memphis, and because the newcomer's numbers and habits keep changing year to year as it settles into new ground, telling the two apart on a home's siding each fall is worth doing 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.
