Millipedes can quickly become a nuisance, especially when they invade homes in large numbers. While they don’t cause structural damage or spread diseases, their presence in basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces can be unsettling. These moisture-loving pests are drawn indoors by damp conditions, particularly after heavy rainfall. If millipedes are overrunning your home, Critter Stop’s Hackberry millipede control services provide expert extermination and long-term prevention to keep them out for good.
Millipedes typically thrive outdoors, feeding on decaying organic matter. However, certain factors can push them indoors:
✔ Excess Moisture – Leaky pipes, high humidity, and poor ventilation create the perfect environment for millipedes.
✔ Outdoor Nesting Sites – Mulch, wet soil, leaves, and compost piles near your home attract millipedes.
✔ Small Entry Points – Cracks in windows, doors, and foundations allow millipedes easy access.
✔ Weather Changes – Heavy rain or dry conditions force millipedes to seek shelter indoors.
Millipedes are usually active at night and may not be noticeable until they become a larger problem. Watch for these signs:
✔ Frequent Sightings – Seeing millipedes indoors, especially near baseboards, doors, and damp areas.
✔ Dead Millipedes Indoors – Finding dried millipede carcasses near windows and entry points.
✔ Persistent Moisture Issues – Damp conditions inside your home make it a prime environment for millipedes.
✔ Outdoor Millipede Activity – Large numbers of millipedes in gardens, under rocks, or near the foundation may lead to an indoor invasion.
Critter Stop follows a proven approach to millipede removal, focusing on both immediate relief and long-term prevention.
Our pest control team thoroughly examines your property to locate:
✔ High millipede activity areas
✔ Moisture problems that attract millipedes
✔ Potential entry points around your home
Every infestation is different. We create a tailored strategy to effectively eliminate millipedes while preventing future infestations.
Using eco-friendly, family-safe treatments, we eliminate millipedes without harming beneficial insects or pets.
Since millipedes thrive in damp conditions, we help minimize excess moisture by:
✔ Repairing leaks and improving drainage
✔ Enhancing ventilation in crawl spaces, basements, and bathrooms
✔ Recommending dehumidifiers for high-humidity areas
We identify and seal cracks, crevices, and foundation gaps to prevent future millipede invasions.
To ensure your home remains millipede-free, we offer:
✔ Follow-up inspections
✔ Expert guidance on maintaining a dry, pest-free environment
Many homeowners attempt DIY methods to control millipedes, but these solutions rarely provide lasting relief. Here’s why:
✔ Limited Effectiveness – Store-bought sprays only kill visible millipedes, leaving hidden populations untouched.
✔ Missed Entry Points – Without sealing small gaps and cracks, millipedes will continue entering your home.
✔ Persistent Moisture Issues – If humidity isn’t controlled, millipedes will keep returning.
✔ Temporary Solutions – Over-the-counter treatments offer only short-term relief without addressing the root causes of infestations.
After professional removal, these simple steps can help keep millipedes from coming back:
✔ Reduce Moisture Levels – Fix leaks, improve ventilation, and use dehumidifiers in problem areas.
✔ Seal Entry Points – Block small openings around windows, doors, and foundations to prevent access.
✔ Keep Landscaping in Check – Remove leaf piles, mulch, and rotting wood near your home’s foundation.
✔ Improve Drainage – Ensure gutters and downspouts direct water away from your home.
✔ Schedule Regular Pest Inspections – Routine check-ups help detect infestations before they become severe.
