Millipedes are a common nuisance in Arlington, especially after heavy rainfall or when humidity levels rise. These moisture-seeking pests often invade basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces, sometimes appearing in large numbers. While millipedes do not bite or spread diseases, their presence can be unsettling—particularly when they gather inside homes. These pests thrive in damp environments and seek shelter indoors to escape excessive outdoor moisture. Critter Stop offers Arlington millipede control services designed to eliminate infestations and prevent their return. Our professional treatments ensure your home remains comfortable and millipede-free.
Millipedes are often unnoticed until their numbers become overwhelming. Watch for these indicators of an infestation:
✔ Frequent Sightings – If millipedes are appearing near doors, windows, or along baseboards, they are likely seeking shelter from excess moisture outside.
✔ High Indoor Humidity – Damp conditions from plumbing leaks, poor ventilation, or excess condensation create the perfect environment for millipedes.
✔ Outdoor Debris Accumulation – Piles of leaves, mulch, and firewood near your home’s foundation attract millipedes and increase the risk of an indoor infestation.
✔ Damp, Dark Hiding Places – Millipedes often settle in basements, garages, storage areas, and crawl spaces.

While millipedes do not pose a direct health threat, their presence can lead to several issues, including:
✔ Unpleasant Odors – Some millipedes secrete a foul-smelling fluid when disturbed, which can stain surfaces.
