Why Carlin homes get centipedes and millipedes

The sandy soil and caliche that surrounds Carlin is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what centipedes and millipedes need to thrive. The desert valleys and mountain ranges adds harborage, and the desert climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Colorado River and mountain reservoirs see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
