Recognizing the Signs of a Centipede & Millipede Infestation

Centipedes and millipedes are common household pests, and while they don't cause structural damage, their presence can be alarming and a sign of a deeper issue. These pests are attracted to moisture and are often found in dark, damp areas of your home. Seeing one or two is normal, but a larger number can indicate a bigger problem. Recognizing the signs of an infestation is the first step toward reclaiming your home and addressing the underlying moisture issues.

• Seeing Live Pests: This is the most obvious sign. You might see centipedes or millipedes crawling on floors, up walls, or in tubs and sinks. They are most active at night.
• Presence in Damp Areas: Finding them in places like basements, crawl spaces, laundry rooms, bathrooms, and garages is a clear indicator. They are drawn to these moist environments to survive.
• Signs of Moisture: Since they require moisture, an infestation can be a sign of a larger water problem. Look for signs of water leaks, condensation, or high humidity in your home.
• Excessive Plant Debris or Mulch: Outdoors, a large population of millipedes may be found in areas with a lot of decomposing leaves, mulch, or wood. They are drawn to these food sources and can then migrate indoors.

If you are seeing a large number of these pests, it's time to call a professional. A pest control expert can not only eliminate the current infestation but also help you identify and resolve the moisture problems attracting them.

Common Causes of Centipede and Millipede Infestations

Centipedes and millipedes are pests that are directly drawn to a home's environment, particularly areas that provide the ideal conditions for them to thrive. The primary reason for an infestation is a significant moisture problem. These pests require damp, humid conditions to survive, and they will seek out homes that offer a reliable source of moisture. This can be caused by a variety of issues, including leaky pipes, poor ventilation in basements or crawl spaces, and excessive condensation. They often enter homes through cracks in the foundation, gaps around doors and windows, or even through floor drains, searching for a more suitable habitat. The presence of these pests is a strong indicator of a pre-existing moisture issue that needs to be addressed.

In Garland, the humid climate and abundant rainfall, especially during the spring and summer months, make these seasons prime time for centipede and millipede activity. As their outdoor habitats become oversaturated, they will actively seek refuge inside homes to escape the wet conditions. Additionally, they are attracted to homes that have a lot of decaying organic matter nearby, such as mulch, leaf litter, and woodpiles, which serve as both a food source and a habitat. A professional pest control service will not only eliminate the current infestation but also help you identify and resolve the underlying moisture and environmental issues that are attracting them to your home in the first place.
