Why are centipedes and millipedes entering your home?

These multi-legged invaders often appear suddenly in basements, bathrooms, or crawlspaces. Their presence is usually tied to:

• Moisture: Damp areas with poor ventilation attract both centipedes and millipedes.
• Shelter: They hide in cracks, under leaf piles, or behind baseboards.
• Food Source: Centipedes feed on other insects, meaning their presence can signal a deeper pest problem.

• Fast-moving centipedes seen at night
• Small black or brown millipedes curled up near walls or windows
• Increased presence of other insects (centipedes’ food source)

Our experts will:

• Locate entry points and assess moisture-prone zones
• Apply targeted treatments in harborage areas like baseboards, cracks, and drains
• Reduce attraction by recommending dehumidification and sealing techniques
• Set up exterior barriers to stop them before they get inside
