Centipede and millipede control for Forrest City, built around the predictable fall millipede migration Arkansas sees every year.
Call (844) 924-1337University of Arkansas Extension hears from homeowners across the state every fall about the same pattern: millipedes turning up by the dozens in basements and lower level rooms once cooling temperatures and shifting soil moisture send them out of yards and gardens looking for a place to spend winter. Forrest City's wooded terrain along Crowley's Ridge gives them plenty of leaf litter and undisturbed ground to move through on the way to the nearest foundation.
Centipedes don't follow that pattern at all, since they hunt other insects rather than break down organic material, so one found indoors usually points to a smaller pest already present rather than being a problem on its own. Addressing outdoor moisture and entry points ahead of the fall migration is what handles a millipede swarm, while a recurring centipede sighting means finding whatever insect population is drawing it 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, leaf litter, and garden 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.
