Millipedes are slow-moving, many-legged creatures that feed on decaying plant matter and thrive in damp mulch, leaf litter, and soil. They don't bite or sting, but large numbers can migrate indoors, especially after heavy rain.
They're most active at night and tend to curl into a tight coil when disturbed, which is a telltale way to identify them.
Signs You May Have Millipedes
- Large numbers of millipedes in mulch, leaf litter, or under debris
- Millipedes migrating indoors after heavy rain
- Coiled millipedes found near doors, garages, or ground-level entry points
- Activity concentrated in damp, shaded areas of the yard
Our Treatment Approach
We apply a perimeter treatment around your foundation and treat mulch beds and other moisture-heavy landscaping where millipedes breed, reducing both outdoor populations and the number that wander indoors.
