What causes millipede infestations?

Millipede infestations occur due to the presence of decaying organic matter, such as leaves and mulch. Millipedes thrive in damp, dark environments and are attracted to moisture. High humidity and moisture in areas like basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces create favorable conditions for millipede activity. Structural gaps, cracks, and openings provide entry points for millipedes to enter homes. Poor landscape maintenance, such as overgrown grass and vegetation, can contribute to millipede infestations.

How do I get rid of a millipede infestation?

To get rid of a millipede infestation, start by reducing moisture in and around your home by fixing leaks and using dehumidifiers. Remove decaying organic matter such as leaves and mulch where millipedes can hide. Seal cracks and gaps in walls, windows, and doors to prevent entry. Use insecticides or traps in high-activity areas to target millipedes. Regularly clean and vacuum infested areas, paying special attention to basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces. Ensure proper drainage around your property to avoid standing water. Keep your home well-ventilated to reduce humidity levels. Trim vegetation away from the foundation of your home. Maintain a clean and dry environment to make your home less attractive to millipedes. If the infestation is severe or persistent, contact Aptive for a tailored pest management plan that includes thorough inspection, targeted treatments, and preventive measures to keep millipedes under control. Regular monitoring and proactive measures can help prevent future millipede infestations.
