Why Alma homes get centipedes and millipedes

The red clay and sandy loam that surrounds Alma is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what centipedes and millipedes need to thrive. The the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Blue Ridge foothills adds harborage, and the humid subtropical climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Atlantic coast, the Chattahoochee, and lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
