Why Marion homes get stink bugs

The setting around Marion does most of the work. The sandy loam over clay holds the moisture the pests need, the the Ozarks, the Arkansas River Valley, and Delta lowlands offers shelter, and the humid subtropical climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Arkansas River, the Mississippi River, and the Ozark lakes and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.
