Why Centipedes and Millipedes Invade Your Home

Centipedes and millipedes are considered occasional invaders, meaning they typically live outdoors but enter structures when their environment becomes unsuitable—which frequently happens during heavy Florida rains or extreme dryness. Both pests thrive in damp, dark areas with decaying organic matter, such as leaf litter, mulch beds, and under rocks near foundations. When the soil becomes saturated or their food sources diminish, they seek the dry, sheltered conditions of a home.

Centipedes are fast, predatory insects that use venomous pincers to capture prey. Millipedes, while slower, are known to curl up and release a foul-smelling fluid when threatened. Both can enter a home through tiny cracks and crevices, requiring a comprehensive exterior treatment that creates a durable barrier and targets their humid hiding spots. Stopping the invasion requires eliminating their exterior habitat and sealing the pathways they use to access your interior.

Our Proactive Strategy for Centipede and Millipede Control

At Green Wing Lawn and Pest Services, we understand that eliminating centipedes and millipedes requires more than just spot treatments—it requires a proactive strategy that addresses the Florida environment. Our specialists apply their up-to-date training to deliver effective services for the best possible results. Our strategy focuses on long-term exclusion:

  • Moisture Source Identification: We start with an inspection focused on locating high-moisture areas around your foundation, which attract these pests, and advise on correcting environmental issues like drainage or excessive mulch.
  • Perimeter Exclusion: We apply a targeted treatment to the exterior perimeter of your home, focusing on the foundation, mulch beds, flowerbeds, and other areas where these pests breed and hide.
  • Crack and Crevice Treatment: We treat cracks, crevices, and other potential entry points where centipedes and millipedes can crawl inside, creating a durable barrier.
  • Proactive Measures: We take proactive measures between regular treatments, monitoring potential pest activity to stop future seasonal invasions before they start, ensuring consistent control year-round.

We are family-owned and operated, and we are committed to providing the services you need to keep your home free of these crawling pests.

The Importance of Expert Control for Moisture Pests

Centipede and millipede control must be handled by trained experts to achieve lasting results. Since these pests are directly linked to moisture, simply spraying the baseboards indoors provides only temporary relief. A professional has the knowledge to accurately locate and advise on changing the specific exterior conditions—such as excessive moisture from downspouts or grade issues—that are driving the pests indoors.

Furthermore, expert technicians know the specific formulations and application methods that are most effective against these hardy, moisture-loving insects. Incorrect product application may fail to penetrate the pests' hiding spots or provide an insufficient exterior barrier, leading to rapid re-infestation after the next rain.

Choosing a professional ensures that the treatment is both effective and safely applied. Trained specialists use proactive measures and long-term exclusion techniques to solve the pest problem permanently, providing a high-quality solution for the Brevard community.

FAQs About Centipede and Millipede Control in South Daytona, FL

Why do centipedes and millipedes suddenly appear inside my home after heavy rain?

These pests live in damp soil and mulch. Heavy rain floods their outdoor habitats, driving them towards structures seeking drier ground. They enter homes through cracks in the foundation or gaps around doors when they are migrating to escape excessive exterior moisture.

Do these pests cause any real damage to homes or pose health risks?

Millipedes do not cause structural damage but may release an irritating fluid if crushed. Centipedes can deliver a painful, venomous bite, though bites are rare and usually only happen if they are handled. The primary risk is the discomfort of their presence and the sign of excess moisture.

What specific steps can I take to reduce moisture around my foundation?

Reducing moisture is critical for long-term control. This includes ensuring gutters and downspouts direct water away from the foundation, trimming back excessive landscaping that traps moisture, and removing decaying leaf litter or mulch from the immediate perimeter.

How long will your control service keep centipedes and millipedes away?

Our service utilizes proactive measures and sets up a durable exterior barrier. We recommend ongoing treatments to address seasonal pest cycles and moisture fluctuations, ensuring continuous protection and keeping your home free from centipede and millipede invasions year-round.
