Tired of Millipedes Invading Your Home?

After heavy rains or during humid North Texas summers, millipedes can invade your home by the hundreds – crawling across floors, up walls, and into basements and crawlspaces. While millipedes don’t bite or sting, they are a nuisance pest that no homeowner wants to deal with.

Signs of a Millipede Infestation

  • πŸ› Large numbers of millipedes – On patios, driveways, sidewalks, and foundations
  • πŸ› Millipedes inside your home – In basements, crawlspaces, garages, and ground-floor rooms
  • πŸ› Dead millipedes – They die quickly indoors without moisture
  • πŸ› Activity after rain – Millipedes migrate indoors when their outdoor habitat gets waterlogged
  • πŸ› Crushed millipede stains – They can leave brownish stains on carpets and floors

Our Millipede Control Process

Step 1: Free Inspection
We inspect your property to identify millipede hotspots, entry points, and moisture issues that attract them.

Step 2: Habitat Modification Recommendations
We advise on removing leaf litter, mulch, firewood, and debris near your foundation – millipedes love these hiding spots.

Step 3: Exterior Barrier Treatment
We apply a professional-grade liquid barrier around your foundation, door thresholds, windows, and other entry points to kill millipedes on contact and repel new invaders.

Step 4: Interior Spot Treatment
If millipedes have already entered, we apply targeted treatments to baseboards, crawlspaces, and basements.

Step 5: Ongoing Prevention
We recommend quarterly exterior treatments during peak millipede season (spring and fall) to maintain protection.

Why Millipedes Invade North Texas Homes

πŸ› Millipedes are attracted to:

  • Moisture – Leaky faucets, damp crawlspaces, clogged gutters, poor drainage
  • Organic debris – Leaf litter, mulch, grass clippings, firewood piles
  • Cracks and gaps – Foundation cracks, gaps under doors, poorly sealed windows
  • Heavy rain – Millipedes flee waterlogged soil and seek dry shelter (your home!)
  • Humid North Texas summers – Perfect conditions for millipede activity

Millipede Prevention Tips

  • 🚫 Remove leaf litter, mulch, and debris from around your foundation
  • πŸ’§ Fix leaky faucets, downspouts, and AC condensation lines
  • 🌿 Keep firewood and lumber stored away from your home’s exterior
  • πŸ” Seal cracks in foundation, gaps around doors/windows, and utility entry points
  • πŸ‚ Clean gutters regularly to prevent water buildup
  • πŸ“… Schedule quarterly professional barrier treatments

Millipede vs. Centipede – What’s the Difference?

πŸ” Quick Identification Guide:

  • Millipedes: Two pairs of legs per body segment, slow-moving, curl up when disturbed, eat decaying plant matter. Not dangerous.
  • Centipedes: One pair of legs per segment, fast-moving, can bite, eat insects. Can bite (painful but not dangerous).

Both can be treated with our barrier solutions. Call us to identify and treat whichever pest you’re dealing with!

When Millipede Season Peaks in North Texas

  • 🌸 Spring (March–May): High activity after winter rains
  • β˜€οΈ Summer (June–August): Humid conditions keep them active
  • πŸ‚ Fall (September–November): Another peak season as they seek shelter before winter
  • ❄️ Winter (December–February): Less active, but warm spells can trigger movement

Quarterly treatments during peak seasons are recommended for complete protection.

FAQs About Millipede Control

Q: Are millipedes dangerous to humans or pets?

A: No. Millipedes do not bite or sting. However, some species can secrete a fluid that may cause minor skin irritation. They are primarily a nuisance pest.

Q: Why do millipedes come inside after rain?

A: Heavy rain floods their outdoor habitats (leaf litter, mulch, soil). They migrate indoors seeking dry shelter – which is why you suddenly see them in large numbers.

Q: How long does millipede barrier treatment last?

A: Our exterior barrier treatments typically last 3-4 months. We recommend quarterly treatments during peak millipede seasons (spring and fall).

Q: Is millipede treatment safe for my pets?

A: Yes. Our treatments are pet-safe once dry (about 30-60 minutes). We also offer eco-friendly options.

Q: How much does millipede control cost?

A: Call for a free estimate. Pricing depends on home size and property layout.

Q: Do you treat for centipedes too?

A: Yes! Our barrier treatments are effective against both millipedes and centipedes. Ask us about combined pest control plans.
