Why Dover homes get centipedes and millipedes

The humid subtropical climate and the sandy loam over clay of Pope County combine to keep centipedes and millipedes active through most of the year. The the Ozarks, the Arkansas River Valley, and Delta lowlands provides natural harborage, and the moisture near the foundations supports the populations. The homes that stay ahead of it are the ones on a plan that matches the local calendar.

Prevention tips for Dover homeowners

• Clear the leaf litter and the mulch from the foundation.
• Reduce the moisture and fix the drainage issues.
• Keep the grass short and the ground cover thin.
• Seal the gaps around the doors and the foundation.
• Vent the crawl space to keep it dry.

In Dover, the homes that stay pest-free are the ones that stay on the schedule. The hot summers, mild winters, high rainfall climate and the sandy loam over clay mean the pressure never fully stops, and the seasonal visits are what keep it manageable. A single treatment is rarely enough; the plan is what works.

Q: Why do I have so many millipedes?

Millipedes build up in the damp leaf litter and the mulch, then move onto the foundation walls and the walkways after rain as the ground dries.

House centipedes bite rarely and are mostly harmless, and millipedes are a nuisance that can gather in large numbers. Neither damages the structure.

They come from the damp soil and the organic matter around the foundation. Removing the harborage and treating the perimeter stops the migration.
