Stink Bug Control

Stink bug control targets the gaps and openings these insects use to move indoors for winter shelter, before they establish inside walls and attics.

Regular perimeter service helps keep stink bugs from making your home their off-season hiding spot, so you're not dealing with them indoors as the weather cools.

Stink Bugs in Northwest Arkansas

The brown marmorated stink bug — an invasive species first confirmed in Arkansas in Washington County in 2013 — has become an increasingly common fall nuisance in Northwest Arkansas specifically, seeking shelter in homes as the weather cools. Treatment timed ahead of that fall shelter-seeking period is far more effective than dealing with bugs already inside.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do stink bugs suddenly show up in the fall?

As outdoor temperatures drop, stink bugs seek sheltered places to overwinter, often congregating on sun-warmed exterior walls before working their way through small gaps into attics, wall voids, and living spaces.

Is it true infestations can number in the thousands?

In areas where the brown marmorated stink bug is established, homes have reported very large numbers sheltering over winter. Northwest Arkansas populations are still relatively new, but sealing entry points before fall is the most effective prevention.
