A millipede is a many-legged arthropod in the class Diplopoda. While their name literally means “thousand feet,” most species actually have between 30 and 400 legs. They are distinguished from centipedes by having two pairs of legs on most of their body segments, whereas centipedes have only one pair per segment.
You’re walking across your basement floor or stepping into your bathroom at night – and suddenly you see a fast-moving, many-legged creature dart across your path. Centipedes are not just creepy; they can bite and deliver venom that causes pain and swelling.

Centipedes You May Encounter:
Centipedes are attracted to:
Step 1: Free Inspection
We inspect your home – basements, crawlspaces, bathrooms, foundation, and landscaping – to identify centipede activity and entry points.
Step 2: Moisture & Habitat Assessment
We identify moisture issues and harborage areas that attract centipedes (leaky pipes, standing water, clutter, wood piles).
Step 3: Exterior Barrier Treatment
We apply a professional-grade liquid barrier around your foundation, door thresholds, windows, and other entry points. This kills centipedes on contact and repels new invaders.
Step 4: Interior Spot Treatment
We treat baseboards, corners, crawlspaces, basements, and other hiding spots with targeted treatments (safe for homes with children and pets).
Step 5: Ongoing Prevention
We recommend quarterly exterior treatments to maintain protection, especially during spring and summer peak seasons.
