Millipede Control in Orange County

Millipedes are common moisture-loving pests in Orange County. While they do not bite or spread disease, they become a major nuisance when large numbers migrate into homes, garages, and patios—especially after heavy rains or when their outdoor habitats dry up. Outdoors, they hide in mulch, leaf litter, and soil, feeding on decaying organic matter. When populations grow, millipedes crawl across floors, walls, and basements, sometimes in the hundreds. Their presence indoors is unsightly and overwhelming, and crushing them can release a foul odor. Because millipedes thrive in damp environments, simple clean-up or DIY sprays rarely provide lasting control.

Our millipede control program begins with a thorough inspection to identify moisture-rich areas and entry points around your property. Treatments focus on reducing populations outdoors while sealing access points to keep millipedes from migrating inside. We use targeted applications around foundations, entryways, and breeding sites, combined with practical recommendations for reducing excess moisture and organic debris. Regular maintenance visits ensure long-term relief and peace of mind.
