Call (844) 924-1337Sherwood started out as a small farming community called Sylvan Hills, tucked into Pulaski County north of the Arkansas River. What eventually turned that farmland into a city wasn't the crops grown on it but what had been dug out of the ground nearby: the real Kellogg Lead and Silver Mines worked the site for years before finally closing in 1926. Rather than leaving that land idle, developers began platting the old mine property and the surrounding acreage into residential lots, and the growing town that took shape on top of it eventually adopted a new name altogether, Sherwood, borrowed from the leafy legend of Robin Hood's Sherwood Forest in England rather than from anything about the mining or farming history underneath it. That's a different chapter than neighboring North Little Rock's own mining era history, which centers on the Argenta name and a separate annexation and reincorporation fight rather than the mine site itself or what got built on the land afterward. Sherwood's own story is really about land use turning over from farm, to mine, to postmining subdivision, all inside one stretch of Pulaski County ground that has kept growing ever since.
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.

Yes. Arkansas regulates structural pest control through the State Plant Board's Pesticide Division, and technicians must qualify as Commercial Applicators with documented training and a passing exam score before working on homes or businesses. Companies also need a separate operator's license tied to the type of work performed, whether that's termite treatment or general household pest control.
Cost depends on the size of the property, the pest involved, and whether it's a one time visit or an ongoing service plan, so there's no flat number to quote here. Call PestGuardians to discuss pricing for your Sherwood property, the pest activity, and the proposed service scope. An assessment may be needed before a quote can be confirmed.
Sherwood's original development followed the 1926 closure of the real Kellogg Lead and Silver Mines, when the property was platted into residential lots that eventually became the town's original core. Homes in that older section of the city can have different construction ages and moisture habits than the newer subdivisions built further out as Sherwood has continued to grow, so it's worth mentioning roughly how old a property is when scheduling service.
Sherwood is its own incorporated city in Pulaski County, with a history that runs through the old farming community of Sylvan Hills and later the Kellogg Mine property rather than through North Little Rock's own separate Argenta history. Give the Sherwood address and describe its housing type rather than assuming the same conditions apply as in a neighboring city.
