Millipede Infestation and Treatment: Protect Your Home with Newman Termite & Pest Control

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 Millipede Infestations

Preventing a millipede infestation involves reducing moisture and eliminating entry points. Here are some steps to take:

  • Seal cracks and openings: Inspect your home’s exterior for small cracks and openings, especially around doors, windows, and the foundation. Seal these entry points with caulk or weather stripping.
  • Reduce moisture: Ensure proper ventilation in damp areas like basements and bathrooms. Use dehumidifiers if necessary and fix any leaks promptly.
  • Remove organic debris: Regularly clean your yard to remove leaves, mulch, and other decaying organic matter that could attract millipedes.

"Very Professional. Newman pest controls services are effective. I had all the typical bugs we usually get such as: crickets, black widows, ants, and some palmetto bugs. I get these pests every year but this year has been the worst compared to all the years I've been out here in the desert. I called Newman Pest control and Erik the owner personally came out to service my home. He did an amazing job for a good price and was honest about all my pest concerns. I decided to do a bi-monthly service to keep all the pests under control. I highly recommend using Newman you will be satisfied."

"I can't say enough great stuff about Newman Pest Control and would rate them best in the valley! I recently moved but Erik was my guy for about 2 years. Honest, professional, punctual, knowledgable, courteous, and affordable. He also has great communication with his customers. He would call me if he were even going to be a few minutes late and was considerate of the fact that I have pets I dearly love and he cared to keep them safe as much as I did. Highly recommend!"

"Had some bed bugs problem in a house I just took over. Called up different companies. Erik had the most reasonable price and came out the next day to spray as I was expecting visitors for the weekend and I didn't want them sleeping with bed bugs yukk.... Erik said it would take at least a month for the bed bugs to be cleared but after the one spray it seems like it did the job. Thanks so much Erik for helping me in a pinch. Will definitely call again if need be"
