Why Adams homes get centipedes and millipedes

The glacial till and loam that surrounds Adams is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what centipedes and millipedes need to thrive. The the Great Lakes shore, farmland, and lake country adds harborage, and the humid continental climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Great Lakes and inland lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
