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.

Custom Treatment

Centipede and Millipede Treatment Plans Tailored To You

Every home is unique, and so are our centipede and millipede treatments for you and yours.

Assessment

Our pest control Pros will survey your home and craft a treatment plan that may involve both non-chemical and chemical treatment methods.

Prevention

Preventative actions may include sealing around doors, windows, cracks, gaps, and crevices, plus reducing moist places that promote their survival.

Removal

If chemical products are the most effective and efficient approach, your plan might include exterior and interior applications of products.
