Are centipedes and millipedes dangerous?+
Centipedes can deliver painful bites if handled or threatened, occasionally causing localized swelling and discomfort, though serious reactions are rare. Millipedes don't bite but can secrete defensive fluids that may cause skin irritation or staining. Neither pest typically poses serious health risks, but their presence can indicate moisture problems and their sudden appearance in large numbers causes significant distress for many homeowners.
Why do I suddenly have so many centipedes or millipedes?+
Sudden infestations usually occur after heavy rain, during humid weather, or when outdoor conditions become too wet or dry, driving these moisture-loving pests to seek shelter indoors. They're attracted to damp areas like bathrooms, laundries, basements, and garages. Large numbers often indicate moisture problems, excessive mulch near foundations, poor drainage, or structural gaps allowing easy entry from garden beds where they naturally live.
Can I prevent centipedes and millipedes from returning?+
Yes, with proper prevention measures including managing moisture levels, improving drainage, reducing mulch and organic debris near foundations, sealing entry points, and maintaining barrier treatments. Our technicians provide specific recommendations based on your property's vulnerabilities. Regular annual treatments combined with good property maintenance typically prevent re-infestation, and our 12-month warranty ensures you're protected between services.
