Why Arkansas City homes get centipedes and millipedes

The homes that stay ahead of it are the ones on a plan that matches the local calendar.
Prevention tips for Arkansas City 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does centipede and millipede control cost in Arkansas City?
A treatment runs $120 to $250 in Arkansas City, with crawl space work from $200 to $450. Coverage is often included in a quarterly pest plan.
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.
