Centipede and millipede control for Lowell, timed to the fall soil shift that reliably pushes Arkansas millipedes indoors.
Call (844) 924-1337What actually sets off Arkansas's fall millipede migration is a mechanical shift underground: as soil cools and its moisture content changes, millipedes get pushed out of yards and gardens in large numbers, sending them searching for a place to spend the winter. It's common enough that University of Arkansas Extension hears from homeowners about it every year, many reporting dozens of millipedes in a basement or lower level room once the swarm arrives. Lowell's older, more established neighborhoods, with their mature yards and foundation plantings, see this shift play out every bit as reliably as the rest of the state.
Centipedes don't follow that same trigger at all. They're predators, not decomposers, so one showing up in a Lowell home usually means other small insects are already around for it to hunt rather than being an issue by itself. The fix for each pest looks different too: outdoor moisture control and sealed entry points ahead of the fall shift for millipedes, and locating whatever smaller insects are feeding a centipede for the other.

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. An independent provider can inspect your home and recommend an approach based on what they find.
Yes, treatment applied by an independent provider is generally effective against centipedes, though results depend on correctly identifying entry points and moisture sources rather than treating symptoms alone. Ask your provider what to expect for your specific situation.
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. An independent provider can inspect the bathroom and surrounding areas to identify what's drawing them in.
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 independent provider can inspect the property and recommend treatment based on what they find.
