Centipede and millipede control for Cabot, tied to the fall millipede migration University of Arkansas Extension fields questions about every year.
Call (844) 924-1337Each fall, cooling temperatures and a shift in soil moisture send millipedes out of Arkansas yards and gardens by the thousands, looking for somewhere to spend the winter, and University of Arkansas Extension gets asked about it every year once dozens start showing up in basements and downstairs rooms. Cabot sits near Lonoke County farmland and drainage ditches where the ground holds moisture longer than average, giving millipedes a larger population nearby before that migration even begins.
Centipedes work nothing like that. They're predators rather than decomposers, so one showing up inside usually means other small insects are already present as a food source rather than a problem in its own right. A millipede swarm calls for handling outdoor moisture and sealing entry points ahead of migration season, while ongoing centipede sightings mean finding whatever insect population is luring them in.

Treatment can reduce and often eliminate centipede activity, especially when it addresses the moisture conditions that are drawing them in, not just the centipedes you can see. Discuss the sightings, moisture conditions, and possible entry points when asking about an inspection and treatment options.
Describe whether you are seeing a group arriving from outdoors or repeated sightings inside. Mention any activity around basements, garden areas, and damp areas. Explain whether it followed rain or watering and whether other insects are present. These observations give the inspection a clearer starting point than treating every many-legged pest as the same problem.
Bathrooms are a common spot for centipedes because of the moisture, so control usually involves addressing humidity or leaks in addition to treating the pest directly. Checking the bathroom and adjacent areas for moisture and other insects helps identify what is drawing centipedes indoors.
House-wide centipede control typically starts with identifying every damp area and entry point they could be using, not just the room where you've seen them. An inspection helps establish the extent of the activity and which treatment options fit the findings.
