Signs This Service Is Needed

Five signals worth checking on.

Activity in damp basements

Basements with any lingering moisture are a common concentration point for both pests.

Found near organic debris

Mulch, leaf litter, and decaying organic matter near a foundation attract both centipedes and millipedes.

Seen after heavy rain

Increased sightings following rainfall often mean these pests are moving toward drier structural areas.

Activity in bathrooms

Bathroom moisture makes these spaces attractive, particularly in homes with minor plumbing leaks.

Recurring seasonal pattern

A property with a history of this activity each year is likely to see the same pattern continue.

What's Actually Included

Treating the pest and the moisture together.

Treatment includes exterior perimeter work targeting the damp, organic-matter conditions that attract both centipedes and millipedes, paired with interior spot treatment for any activity that has already moved inside. You'll also receive a moisture and drainage assessment, since these pests are frequently a symptom of a larger condition worth addressing directly rather than a standalone issue.

Step-By-Step Walkthrough

What happens during a visit.

  1. Exterior and interior inspection

    The technician checks both exterior harborage areas and interior spaces where activity has been reported.

  2. Moisture and drainage assessment

    Conditions contributing to excess moisture near the foundation are identified as part of the visit.

  3. Exterior perimeter treatment

    Treatment targets organic debris and damp areas near the foundation where these pests typically harbor.

  4. Interior spot treatment

    Any indoor activity is addressed directly in the specific areas where it's been noticed.

  5. Guidance on conducive conditions

    You'll receive practical notes on drainage or moisture adjustments that can help results hold longer.

Standards This Team Holds To

Why moisture assessment is a standard part of every visit.

Treating centipede or millipede activity without addressing the moisture drawing it in tends to produce only temporary results. Our technicians always include a drainage and moisture check as part of these visits, identifying conditions like irrigation overspray, clogged gutters, or organic debris buildup that keep the underlying condition in place even after treatment is applied.

Common Questions

What Addison, TX homeowners ask before booking.

Are centipedes and millipedes actually harmful?

Neither is generally considered a serious threat, though large numbers indoors are a strong signal of a moisture condition worth addressing.

Will fixing a leak on my own stop the activity?

Addressing an obvious leak helps, though a full moisture and drainage assessment during the visit often identifies contributing factors that aren't immediately visible.

Do you treat both pests in the same visit?

Yes, since both pests are drawn to similar conditions, a single visit typically addresses centipede and millipede activity together.

Is the treatment safe for a finished basement?

Your technician selects products and application areas appropriate for occupied living spaces and will explain any precautions before beginning work.

How long until activity decreases after treatment?

Most households see a noticeable reduction within one to two weeks, particularly once the moisture condition is also addressed.

Why does this happen every year after it rains?

Rainfall temporarily increases moisture near the foundation, which is exactly the condition that draws both pests toward drier structural areas.
