Millipedes
Pest Removal Experts Since 1989
Millipedes thrive outdoors and under concrete slabs where there is moisture and decaying organic matter such as trash, leaves, grass clippings, mulch, and unclean drains. They can expand their population very quickly and become structural pests when they invade homes in staggering numbers. This usually happens when standing water forces them out of their natural habitat.
If you are facing a millipede infestation within your home or anywhere else on your property, ValuePest is here to help. Using top-quality products and equipment, you can trust that our experts can flush the infestation from your home right away. We deliver millipede control the way it should be!
Things to Know about Millipedes
Millipedes are usually brown or black in color but may be seen in brighter colors such as orange or red. They can be up to 4 inches long.
Females lay 20 to 300 eggs in nests in the soil which hatch in several weeks. Initially, the young have only three pairs of legs. Millipedes will usually molt 7 to 10 times before becoming adults.

How We Take Care of Millipede Infestations
Millipede control begins outdoors by removing the moist harborages that millipedes are nesting in. Firewood should be stored off the ground and the lawn should be mowed and edged to promote drying. Flower beds should not be over-mulched. Entry into building should be prevented by sealing and caulking of gaps around siding, windows, and doors.
Micro-encapsulated and powder products are the most effective in stopping millipede invasions. Dusts can also be applied to crawlspace areas where these insects spend time.
Our process includes:
- Inspection – Our first step is to carefully inspect the property for millipedes and their nesting sites.
- Identification – The next step is to accurately identify all nesting sites.
- Determination – Once we have identified the nesting sites, we determine the proper treatment process. Each treatment is tailored to the specific situation at hand.
- Control – Then, we ensure that the treatment is carefully and properly applied.
- Communication – The last part of a successful millipede control is communication. Your service technician always reports their inspection findings, offers the best solution, explains what you can expect from the treatment, and explains how we will continue treatment in the future.
