Centipede & Millipede Control in Augusta, Kentucky

Why Augusta homes get centipedes and millipedes

The the Bluegrass, the Pennyroyal, and the Appalachians 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 Ohio and Kentucky rivers and lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
