Call (844) 924-1337Centerton sits at the literal center of Benton County, and that's where its name comes from: the town started out as Center Point before being renamed Centerton in 1900 to reflect its position at the heart of the county. That same year brought the town's real claim to fame, when Centerton grown apples took top honors at the 1900 World's Fair in Paris, earning the community its long running unofficial title as the Apple Capital of the World. The orchards behind that title have mostly given way to something else since then: explosive population growth that carried Centerton from just 491 residents in 1990 to more than 27,176 by 2025, one of the fastest growth rates of any city in the country. That shift from a small farming community to a rapidly expanding suburb creates pest pressure tied to disturbed ground and new construction that a slower growing, more settled town simply doesn't see at the same scale.
Arkansas licenses structural pest control through the Arkansas State Plant Board's Pesticide Division under the Arkansas Department of Agriculture. Individuals who want to perform commercial structural pest control work must qualify as a Commercial Applicator, which requires at least one year of hands on pest control experience or two years of college coursework in entomology, 40 hours of verifiable on the job training, and a passing score on a state administered exam, plus current EPA pesticide applicator certification. Businesses need a separate operator's license under one of several classifications, including Classification 1 for termites and other wood destroying pests and Classification 2 for household pest and rodent control, and must carry bond and insurance coverage before the state will issue that license. Wildlife and nuisance animal removal work is regulated separately: some nuisance species can be trapped or removed without a permit, but game and furbearing animals like raccoons generally require a Depredation Permit issued by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission rather than anything from the Plant Board.

Pricing depends on the property size, the pest involved, and whether the job is a one time treatment or an ongoing service plan, so we can't quote a set number here. Call PestGuardians to discuss pricing for your Centerton property, the pest activity, and the proposed service scope. An assessment may be needed before a quote can be confirmed.
Yes. Centerton grew from just 491 residents in 1990 to more than 27,176 by 2025, and that pace means a lot of local pest service now has to account for brand new subdivisions built on recently cleared ground, not only the older farmhouses that predate the boom. Explain how recently the property was built when discussing inspection and treatment options.
Yes, generally. Centerton's older properties, some tied back to the orchards that earned the town its Apple Capital title, tend to carry different pest pressure than a new subdivision built on recently cleared land, since mature trees, outbuildings, and established landscaping create different entry points than brand new construction does. It's worth mentioning your property's age and history when scheduling.
