Why Highland homes get centipedes and millipedes

The setting around Highland 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.

Prevention tips for Highland 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 Highland, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Q: Are centipedes and millipedes harmful?

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

Q: Where do they come from?

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

Q: Will they keep coming back?

Not if the moisture and the harborage are corrected. The treatment knocks down the population, and the dry, clean perimeter keeps the conditions from returning.

Q: How much does centipede and millipede control cost in Highland?

A treatment runs $120 to $250 in Highland, with crawl space work from $200 to $450. Coverage is often included in a quarterly pest plan.
