Centipede & Millipede CONTROL

Our Centipede & Millipede Control Service

Centipedes and millipedes occasionally wander into homes throughout the Las Vegas area. Millipedes have long, cylindrical bodies with two pairs of legs per segment and curl up when disturbed. They feed on decaying organic matter. Centipedes are flattened with one pair of legs per segment and have venomous fangs to subdue prey; they hunt other insects and are beneficial. Both arthropods require moisture and are most often found outdoors under logs, mulch and stones, but they may venture indoors seeking shelter.

Our Unique Approach To Centipede & Millipede Control

1. Inspection & Identification

We inspect your property to identify whether you’re dealing with millipedes, house centipedes or larger desert species. Understanding the species helps determine whether control is necessary, as many centipedes and millipedes are beneficial.

2. Moisture & Habitat Assessment

We evaluate moisture sources: leaky irrigation systems, poor drainage, high‑volume mulching, or damp basements. We identify harborage sites like leaf piles, rotting wood and thick groundcover.

3. Habitat Modification

  • Remove or reduce organic debris around foundations and lawn edges.
  • Improve drainage, fix leaks and ventilate basements or crawl spaces.
  • Seal cracks in foundations, around doors and windows to prevent entry.
  • Recommend reducing mulch layers and adjusting irrigation schedules to discourage millipedes.

4. Targeted Treatments

When non‑chemical measures aren’t sufficient, we apply insecticidal dusts or sprays labeled for centipedes and millipedes around the perimeter in a 3‑foot band and in areas of high activity. Indoors, we treat cracks and crevices with low‑odor aerosols where these pests enter or congregate. All products are used according to label instructions and with careful consideration for families and pets.

5. Follow‑Up & Prevention

We provide follow‑up visits to check trap counts and adjust treatments. Our technicians also offer recommendations for ongoing moisture management, yard maintenance and exclusion to prevent future invasions. Since centipedes feed on other insects, controlling household pests helps reduce their numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Centipedes and millipedes are often confused, but they behave very differently.
Centipedes are fast-moving predators that bite insects and can deliver a painful bite if handled.
Millipedes are slow, harmless scavengers that feed on decaying organic matter and do not bite.
Seeing either indoors usually means there is excess moisture around the home.

Centipedes and millipedes typically enter homes seeking moisture, shelter, or food. Common causes include:

  • High humidity

  • Leaky plumbing

  • Poor drainage around the foundation

  • Mulch or leaf buildup near the home

Their presence often indicates environmental conditions that need to be corrected, not just a pest issue.

Effective control requires more than spraying. Long-term prevention includes:

  • Reducing moisture indoors and outdoors

  • Sealing entry points around doors, windows, and foundations

  • Removing mulch, leaf litter, and debris near the home

  • Professional exterior perimeter treatments

At Desert Squad Pest & Wildlife, we focus on elimination and prevention, not temporary fixes.

While centipedes and millipedes are not aggressive, seeing them indoors is often a warning sign. Centipedes hunt other insects, which means there may already be hidden pest activity inside walls, attics, or crawl spaces. Millipedes thrive in damp environments, and their presence can indicate excess moisture, drainage issues, or decaying organic material around your foundation. If these conditions are not corrected, infestations can quickly grow and spread throughout the home.
