About Iron Gates

Iron Gates is the older neighborhood on the slopes north of downtown, named for the iron-ore bearing rock that the early miners worked. The housing is mostly early 1900s cottages and small foursquares set into the hillside, on stone foundations. The Joplin Mining and Mineral Museum sits near the foot of the neighborhood.

Pest pressure in Iron Gates

Subterranean termites find easy entry through the stone foundations and wood sill plates common on the older houses here.
Brown recluse spiders are common in the crawl spaces, attics, and basements of homes this age on the slope.
Drainage from uphill lots keeps the downhill foundation walls damp, which draws moisture-seeking ants into the lower levels.
