Why Ward homes get centipedes and millipedes

The setting around Ward 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 Ward 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 Ward, 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.
