Centipede & Millipede Control in Columbia

Reliable Solutions for Centipede and Millipede Infestations

Columbia, with its warm, humid climate, provides an ideal environment for centipede and millipede populations to thrive. These creatures, often mistaken for pests, play a role in decomposing organic matter but can become nuisances in high numbers, especially when they invade homes. Being nocturnal, they often go unnoticed until sightings become frequent, indicating a potential infestation. Common entry points include cracks in walls, gaps under doors, and other entryways that allow them access to preferred humid environments.

Modern Exterminating Co Inc understands local trends and environmental conditions contributing to these infestations. Our tailored approach considers local climate and structural vulnerabilities to provide effective, long-term solutions. By addressing the root causes of infestations, we prevent future occurrences, securing your home or business from these unwelcome intruders.

Signs of a Centipede and Millipede Infestation

While both centipedes and millipedes prefer damp environments, there are distinct signs that can indicate their presence in your home. Recognizing these indicators early can help you address the issue before it becomes a larger problem.

• Frequent sightings of centipedes: Seeing them scurrying quickly across floors or walls, especially at night, and particularly in damp areas like bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.
• Finding centipede shed exoskeletons: Noticing these remnants as the centipedes grow.
• Large numbers of millipedes: Discovering them congregating in dark, moist areas such as basements, garages, and around decaying organic matter like firewood piles.
• Millipedes near entry points: Observing them gathering near door gaps and window wells, especially after periods of heavy rain.
• Increase in other pest populations: A rise in the number of spiders, ants, and cockroaches could indicate a centipede presence, as these are their food sources.
• Millipedes damaging plants: Finding millipedes around decaying plant matter or noticing them feeding on young plants.
• Musty odor: In significant infestations, a noticeable musty smell might be present due to their secretions or the damp environments they favor.

An increase in the population of other pests in your home, such as spiders, ants, and cockroaches, can also indirectly indicate a centipede presence, as these are their primary food sources. Similarly, finding millipedes around decaying plant matter or noticing them damaging young plants could point to an infestation. In some cases, a musty odor might be present with a significant centipede or millipede infestation due to their secretions or the damp environments they favor. Recognizing these signs early can help you address the issue before it becomes a larger problem.
