Behavior and habits
They live in moist mulch and leaf litter, migrating indoors en masse after heavy watering or rain.
Why millipedes are a problem
Harmless but unwelcome, staining floors when crushed and arriving by the dozens.
How Antex handles millipedes
Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.
Prevention tips
Water lawns in the morning, pull organic mulch back from the slab, and seal ground-level doors.
