Centipede and millipede control for West Memphis, timed to the fall migration that pushes millipedes out of Delta yards each year.
Call (844) 924-1337As temperatures drop and soil moisture shifts each fall, millipedes across Arkansas move out of yards and gardens by the hundreds, drifting toward whatever shelter they can find for winter, a pattern University of Arkansas Extension documents through the same questions it fields every year about millipedes showing up in large numbers inside cellars and ground floor spaces. West Memphis adds its own twist, since the city sits on Delta ground kept damp much of the year by its spot along the Mississippi River, giving millipedes plenty of soil to live in right up until that fall shift sends them looking for shelter. Centipedes take a completely different approach, hunting other small insects instead of feeding on decaying plant material, so finding one indoors usually means a separate bug problem is already present rather than trouble on its own.
Drying out the ground and blocking the cracks that let millipedes inside, handled before the season's swarm gets underway, keeps them from becoming a problem, while a centipede that will not stop appearing means finding whatever it is actually hunting inside the home.

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 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.
