Millipedes are common household pests that can cause significant discomfort and inconvenience. While they do not pose a direct threat to humans, their presence in large numbers can create an unpleasant living environment. Newman Termite & Pest Control is here to help you understand the nature of millipede infestations and provide effective treatment solutions to ensure your home remains pest-free.
Understanding Millipede Infestations
Millipedes are elongated, segmented creatures with numerous legs—two pairs per segment. They thrive in moist environments and are typically found in gardens, under rocks, and in leaf litter. When outdoor conditions become too dry or cold, millipedes often seek refuge indoors, leading to infestations.
A millipede infestation is characterized by the presence of these pests in large numbers. They often enter homes through small cracks and openings, especially in basements and ground floors. Once inside, they can be found in damp areas such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. While millipedes do not bite or sting, their sheer numbers can be overwhelming and their secretions can cause mild skin irritation in some people.
Preventing a millipede infestation involves reducing moisture and eliminating entry points. Here are some steps to take:
