What do millipedes look like?
Millipedes are a more uncommon creepy-crawler, but can leave many homeowners feeling uneasy when discovered on their property.

How we treat millipedes
As millipedes typically make their homes in damp, soil-centric areas, disrupting and removing these areas is key to getting rid of them. Crack, crevice, and spot treatment are key. Treatments are focused treatments in areas of high moisture and areas heavy in decaying organic matter and mulch. Our experts will also utilize a pesticide designed for lawn and soil applications to combat any chance of infestations.
