Pest Control in Sherwood, AR
- 72120
- 72076
Sherwood sits in Pulaski County just north of North Little Rock, and it started as Sylvan Hills, a farming settlement where developer Justin Matthews laid out lots and began building a country club in 1926. That course is now the city-owned Greens at North Hills. Most of Sherwood came later, though. The population jumped from about 2,750 in 1970 to nearly 19,000 by 1990, so many neighborhoods are subdivisions from those two decades. Four or five decades on, many of those houses have worn door sweeps (the rubber strip along the bottom of a door) and old holes drilled for cable lines, which mice and roaches slip through.
Water sits close to a lot of Sherwood homes. Lake Cherrywood, a fishing lake in a city park, is stocked with fish by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, and houses in Indianhead Lake Estates sit along the shore of Indianhead Lake. Kellogg Creek, which runs through the Sylvan Hills area, is named for settler Benjamin Kellogg, who found lead and silver ore on his land there around 1840. Another part of town, Brushy Island, is a stretch of lowland that was once farmed, and low ground holds rainwater where mosquitoes lay eggs.
RIDD provides residential and commercial pest control across all of Sherwood, from Sylvan Hills to Gravel Ridge, which joined the city in 2008. That covers 72120 and the Gravel Ridge addresses that still use 72076. Service for every Sherwood address comes out of our Little Rock branch.
Services
Pest Control Services We Offer in Sherwood
RIDD provides the following services to Sherwood residents and businesses. Each links to a full service page with detailed information, pricing, and booking.
- 01
General Pest Control
On each quarterly or bi-monthly visit, we first walk your Sherwood property to see where ants and spiders get in. Then we spray around the house and under the eaves, where the roof overhangs the walls, which most companies leave alone. Starting at $49/month.
- 02
Mosquito, Tick & Flea Control
Mosquitoes stay busy around Indianhead Lake and Lake Cherrywood, and lone star ticks, Arkansas's most common tick, wait in brush at the back of yards. From late April through October, we spray the shrubs and shaded fence lines where both pests rest.
- 03
Ant Control
Fire ant mounds tend to show up in Sherwood lawns and along curbs a few days after a heavy rain, when colonies push loose soil to the surface. We treat each mound in the yard and along the driveway edge.
- 04
Spider Control
In Sherwood houses, brown recluse spiders tend to turn up on garage shelving and in boxes stored at the back of closets. We treat those shelves and closet corners, then spray the foundation and garage door frame outside, where spiders crawl in.
- 05
Rodent Control
Mice in Sherwood's older subdivisions often get in under worn door sweeps, and roof rats climb overhanging tree limbs to reach the attic. We check the roofline and door bottoms first, then place bait stations and traps where we find droppings.
- 06
Wasp & Hornet Control
Red wasps, a common Arkansas paper wasp, hang open, umbrella-shaped nests under carports and inside storage sheds, and the nests grow all summer. We treat each active nest and the ceiling or rafters around it.

Common questions
Pest Control FAQs for Sherwood Residents
Do you service all of Sherwood?
Yes. RIDD covers all of Sherwood, including zip code 72120 and Gravel Ridge homes with a 72076 address. Pricing and services are the same across the entire city.
Do you treat fire ant mounds in Sherwood yards?
Yes, through our Ant Control service. It helps to leave a mound alone until we treat it, because a disturbed colony often moves to a new spot. If new mounds show up between visits on a RIDD plan, we come back for free.
Is pricing the same in Sherwood as in Little Rock?
Yes. Both cities are served by RIDD's Little Rock branch at the same rates. Pest 4 starts at $49/month, Pest 6 at $69/month, and RIDD Package 4 at $89/month. No Sherwood address pays a travel fee, and every plan includes our 100% satisfaction guarantee, backed by free re-services.
Where do mosquitoes breed around Sherwood homes?
In still, shallow water. The weedy edges of Lake Cherrywood and Indianhead Lake are one source, and a clogged gutter, plant saucer, or kiddie pool is another. An egg laid there can become an adult mosquito in 7 to 10 days, so tipping containers out once a week helps.
