Millipedes are long, segmented invertebrates with two pairs of legs on most body segments. They are not insects, but they are related to centipedes. Millipedes are typically found in moist, dark places, such as under rocks, logs, and leaf litter.

Millipedes are not dangerous to humans. They do not bite or sting, and their droppings are not harmful. However, they can be a nuisance, and their presence can be indicative of a moisture problem in your home.

Millipedes are attracted to moist, dark places. If there is a moisture problem in your home, such as a leaky pipe or a damp basement, it can attract millipedes. Millipede problems may also be caused by food scraps, so it is important to keep your kitchen clean and free of clutter. Our millipede exterminator service can help get rid of millipedes in your home fast!

Millipedes can come from a variety of places, including the soil, the surrounding vegetation, and even from other infested homes. They can enter your home through cracks and crevices in the foundation, around windows and doors, and through plumbing pipes.

There are a number of ways to go about millipede removal. You can try physical removal, using traps, or using chemical treatments.

Physical removal: You can remove millipedes by hand or with a vacuum cleaner. Be sure to dispose of them in a sealed container so they do not escape.
Traps: There are a number of traps available that can be used to catch millipedes. These traps work by attracting the millipedes with food or moisture.
Chemical treatments: Chemical treatments can be effective in killing millipedes. However, it is important to use these treatments carefully, as they can also be harmful to humans and pets.
