What are the signs of a millipede infestation?
Signs of a millipede infestation include seeing live millipedes in your home, particularly in damp, dark areas like basements, bathrooms, and kitchens. Millipedes are elongated, cylindrical creatures with many legs that move in a wave-like motion.
If you suspect a millipede infestation, prompt action is essential. Magna Pest Solutions offers a free inspection as part of our comprehensive millipede control program. Our trained professionals can quickly identify the extent of the infestation and provide targeted treatments to eliminate these pests from your home.
Where might you find millipedes?
In the home, millipedes are commonly found in damp, dark areas such as basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and crawl spaces. Outdoors, millipedes are often found under rocks, logs, mulch, and leaf litter.
Geographically, millipedes are found worldwide and can thrive in various environments. They are particularly prevalent in areas with high humidity and abundant organic matter.
When are millipede invasions likely to occur?
Millipede invasions can occur at any time of the year, but they are often more noticeable during the warmer months when they are more active. During these times, millipedes are more likely to enter homes in search of food, moisture, and shelter.
To protect your home year-round, consider preventative measures and regular inspections. Magna Pest Solutions’ Premium Pest Protection covers most bugs, ensuring comprehensive protection.

Why should I get rid of these?
