Treatment that addresses both the visible activity and the damp conditions actually drawing centipedes and millipedes toward your home.
Call 1 (877) 790-6119Centipedes and millipedes are both drawn to damp, dark conditions, basements, crawlspaces, mulch beds, and areas with poor drainage near a foundation. Our treatment addresses the pests directly visible on the property while also identifying the excess moisture that's likely sustaining ongoing activity.
"Treating the pest without addressing the moisture behind it rarely holds for long."
While centipedes and millipedes are generally more of a nuisance than a structural concern, ongoing activity often signals a moisture issue that can affect the property in other ways over time if left unaddressed, from wood conditions to other pest activity that thrives in the same damp environment.
The technician checks basements, crawlspaces, and exterior moisture-prone zones for activity.
Conditions contributing to dampness are noted, since addressing them supports longer-term results.
Treatment focuses on identified harborage areas rather than a single broad application.
Exterior entry points near mulch beds or foundation gaps receive treatment as well.
Documentation includes any moisture-related conditions worth addressing separately.
Most visits are completed within a single appointment, with the technician walking through findings before leaving. If a significant moisture issue is identified, your technician will explain it clearly, since resolving that condition often has more long-term impact than the pest treatment alone.
We look beyond the visible pest to the conditions actually sustaining the activity.
Every technician trains on identification and treatment for moisture-associated pests.
Written notes help you track whether conditions are improving over time.
Our experience with Jena, LA properties informs how we approach each visit.
Neither poses significant risk to people, though large numbers indoors are generally unwelcome and can indicate a moisture issue worth addressing.
Centipedes are fast-moving predators with fewer, longer legs, while millipedes move slowly and have many short legs, though both are drawn to similar damp conditions.
Reducing excess moisture significantly helps, though professional treatment addresses current activity more directly and quickly.
Many properties see reduced activity within a couple of weeks, particularly if moisture conditions are also addressed.
Your technician can advise on general moisture reduction, though specific recommendations depend on the conditions found during inspection.
Targeted treatment from an ISA-certified technician, documented every visit.
