Centipede and millipede control for Sherwood, split between a predator that hunts other insects indoors and a decomposer that migrates by the dozens each fall.
Call (844) 924-1337Centipedes are predators, not decomposers, so finding one inside a Sherwood home usually means something smaller has already crawled in for it to hunt, not a structural or moisture problem on its own. Millipedes work the opposite side of that ecosystem: they feed on decaying plant material, and Arkansas's fall cooling triggers the seasonal migration that pushes millipedes out of yards and garden beds by the dozens, often turning up in basements and lower level rooms statewide, including in Sherwood's older, well established neighborhoods that grew up not long after the Kellogg Mine site went out of use in 1926 and got platted for houses with mature, shaded lots.
That distinction changes how a technician approaches each pest. A centipede sighting points toward finding whatever smaller insects are already established somewhere in the home, since the centipede is only there because a food source is, while a millipede swarm calls for addressing outdoor moisture and sealing entry points before the fall migration gets underway. Sherwood's mix of decades old subdivisions and newer construction further out means both moisture profiles turn up somewhere in the city.

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.
