Frequently Asked Questions

Are centipedes and millipedes dangerous to people or pets?

Generally, centipedes and millipedes are not considered dangerous to people or pets. Millipedes are not venomous, but many species can release an irritating fluid when disturbed that can cause skin irritation in some individuals. Centipedes do have venom and can bite, but it is typically not life-threatening to humans and is often compared to a bee sting. However, larger centipedes can inflict a more painful bite, and individuals with insect allergies should be cautious.

How can I tell the difference between a centipede and a millipede?

The easiest way to tell the difference between a centipede and a millipede is by their legs and movement. Centipedes have only one pair of legs per body segment, and their legs are positioned on the side of their flattened bodies, allowing them to move quickly. Millipedes have two pairs of legs on most of their body segments, and their legs are positioned directly underneath their rounder, cylindrical bodies, which makes them move much more slowly. Additionally, centipedes are predators and will flee when disturbed, while millipedes are scavengers and will often curl up into a ball as a defense mechanism.

What can I do on my own to prevent an infestation?

To prevent a centipede and millipede infestation, the most important step is to control moisture and humidity in and around your home. You can do this by using a dehumidifier in damp areas like basements and crawl spaces, and by repairing any leaky pipes or faucets. Additionally, you should seal any cracks, gaps, or holes in your foundation, windows, and doors to block their entry. Removing outdoor debris like leaf litter, mulch, and woodpiles from around your home's foundation will also help eliminate their hiding spots and food sources.

Is your treatment safe for my family and pets?

Yes, the safety of your family and pets is our top priority during any treatment. We use professional-grade products that are effective against centipedes and millipedes while being applied in a manner that minimizes any potential risk. Our technicians are trained to target specific areas where pests live and hide, away from common living spaces. We will always provide clear instructions on any precautions to take, such as keeping the area clear for a short period after treatment.

How long does it take to get rid of an infestation?

The time it takes to get rid of an infestation depends on its size and the environmental factors of your home. A professional treatment will often provide a noticeable reduction in centipede and millipede sightings within a few days. However, a complete eradication and long-term control require addressing the underlying moisture issues and sealing entry points. We typically recommend a follow-up visit to ensure the pests are gone and to maintain a protective barrier around your home.
