The Science

Centipede and Millipede Risks

Millipede Allergic Skin Reactions

Millipedes can cause mild allergic reactions if they secrete defensive fluids and you get them on your person or in your eyes.

Centipede "Bites"

Rather than bite, centipedes can pinch, and venom is injected through their front legs — potentially causing a reaction similar to a bee sting.

Our Approach

Treatment Plans That Work for You

Orkin Pros are trained to diagnose and treat centipede and millipede problems. Because every home is different, they work with you to design a unique program for your situation.

The Orkin Pro Process

The Orkin Pro Process

Inspect

We begin with a thorough inspection to identify centipede and millipede activity, locate moisture‑rich areas they rely on, and uncover the entry points that allow them inside.

Diagnose

Using expert knowledge of these pests’ behavior, we determine the severity of the infestation and pinpoint environmental factors, especially moisture and structural gaps, that support their presence.

Protect

We implement targeted treatments using safe, appropriate materials while sealing cracks, gaps, and moisture‑harboring areas to keep centipedes and millipedes from re‑entering.

Monitor

We install monitoring devices in key interior areas like kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and garages to track activity and make adjustments as conditions change.

Report

After every visit, we provide a detailed report outlining findings, treatments applied, and prevention steps, such as reducing moisture, to help keep centipedes and millipedes out of your home.
