Centipede & Millipede Control That Targets the Source, Not Just the Surface
Professional Centipede & Millipede Control Services: Fast, Effective Elimination
A centipede darting across your bathroom floor or a wave of millipedes pooling against your basement wall isn’t just unsettling, it’s a signal that something in or around your home is creating the conditions these pests need to survive. Our professional centipede and millipede control services identify and address the moisture, harborage, and entry conditions driving the infestation, so the problem doesn’t return.

Our Comprehensive Centipede & Millipede Elimination Process
Every infestation has a specific source. Our process is built to find it, and eliminate it, before treating the immediate pest activity.
Moisture & Pest Inspection
Our technicians inspect your home’s perimeter, basement, crawl space, and interior harborage zones to identify the moisture sources, entry points, and environmental conditions driving the infestation. For centipede cases, we also assess what prey insect populations may be sustaining them inside your home.
Exterior Perimeter Barrier
We apply a specialized residual barrier treatment along your foundation, around landscape beds, and at all identified entry points to intercept migrating millipedes and prevent centipede ingress. Unlike retail sprays, our exterior treatments are built to last between service visits, maintaining a continuous line of defense rather than requiring repeated reapplication.
Targeted Interior Treatment
For active interior infestations, our technicians apply safe, micro-targeted treatments to basement baseboards, crawl space walls, bathroom cavities, cracks, and crevices where centipedes nest and travel. Product placement keeps active ingredients inaccessible to children and pets while remaining fully effective in the harborage zones that matter.
Source Reduction Guidance
Treatment without environmental correction is temporary. Our technicians provide a customized source reduction plan covering moisture management, landscaping adjustments, and structural proofing recommendations, redirecting downspouts, pulling mulch back from the foundation, sealing entry points, and addressing any crawl space or basement humidity issues identified during inspection.
Year-Round Protection: The Value of Ongoing Service
Centipede and millipede pressure is seasonal and ongoing, recurring service maintains your perimeter barrier through every weather shift and covers both pests under our general pest control plans alongside dozens of other household pests. If they return between scheduled visits, we come back at no additional charge.
How Centipede & Millipede Control Works
01
Schedule Your Inspection
Book online or call to arrange a professional inspection. Same-day and next-day appointments are available.
02
Targeted Treatment
We assess your moisture conditions and pest pressure, apply your exterior perimeter barrier, and treat active interior harborage zones to address current activity and cut off future entry.
03
Ongoing Service
Follow-up visits refresh your perimeter protection and monitor for new activity before it becomes a reinfestation. If centipedes or millipedes return between visits, so do we.
Why DIY Treatments Fail Against These Pests
Standard over-the-counter bug sprays address the insects you can see on the surface. They do nothing about the conditions driving the infestation, and they can’t reach the damp wall voids, crawl space corners, and deep soil pockets where centipedes and millipedes actually live and breed.

Satisfaction Guaranteed
If centipedes or millipedes return between your scheduled service visits, we return at no additional charge, period.

Frequently Asked Questions About Centipede & Millipede Control Services
Can centipedes or millipedes bite or cause damage to my home?
Centipedes have venom glands and large ones can deliver a painful bite, similar to a bee sting, if handled or cornered, but they pose no structural threat to your home. Millipedes can't bite, though some species secrete a defensive fluid that can stain surfaces and irritate skin and eyes.
Why am I suddenly seeing hundreds of millipedes in my basement or on my patio?
Mass millipede migrations are triggered by weather extremes, heavy rainfall oversaturates outdoor soil habitats and forces them inward through foundation gaps, while drought drives them inside in search of moisture. A perimeter barrier treatment applied ahead of seasonal weather shifts is the most effective way to prevent migration events from making it inside.
How much does professional centipede and millipede control cost?
Initial treatment costs typically range from $150 to $300 depending on the size of your property, the severity of the infestation, and the extent of the moisture assessment required. Ongoing quarterly or bi-monthly maintenance plans generally run $40 to $70 per month. Contact us for a free, no-obligation inspection and accurate quote for your specific situation.
Are centipede and millipede treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes, our technicians follow IPM practices and apply treatments in targeted harborage zones (basement baseboards, crawl space walls, cracks and crevices) that keep active ingredients well out of reach of children and pets. Exterior barrier treatments are applied along the foundation and allowed to dry fully before re-entry.
How can I prevent centipedes and millipedes from coming back?
The most effective long-term prevention combines recurring perimeter service with moisture reduction around your home. Keep mulch at least six inches away from your foundation, clear wet leaf litter from entry points, fix leaking outdoor spigots, and use a dehumidifier in damp crawl spaces or basements. Our technicians will provide a specific source reduction plan based on what they observe during your inspection.
Do I need to be home during centipede and millipede treatment?
For interior treatments, we ask that someone be home to provide access to basements, crawl spaces, and affected areas. Exterior perimeter treatments can often be completed without you present. Your scheduling team will walk you through what to expect for your specific service before your appointment.
