Millipede Control: Learn How To Get Rid Of Millipedes - Orkin

What Orkin Does

In an emergency, a vacuum cleaner or a shop-type vacuum can be used to remove millipedes from walls and floors. When the situation gets bad, many homeowners call for help to get rid of millipedes.

Orkin Pros are trained to get rid of millipedes and manage their recurrence. Orkin’s exclusive Points of Service process is a continuing cycle of five critical steps.

• We Investigate: Millipede treatment usually begins with an inspection by your Orkin Pro to locate the source of how the pests are getting inside the home. Once the inspection is completed, your Pro will prepare a plan that may involve both non-chemical and chemical treatment methods.

• We Protect: If chemical products are the most effective and efficient approach, your plan might include exterior and interior applications of products to potential entry points and harborage sites where millipedes accumulate.

• We Fortify: Non-chemical components of the plan will emphasize preventing pests from getting inside the home and reducing suitable millipede habitats. Some specific actions include sealing around doors, windows, cracks, gaps, and crevices, plus reducing moist places that promote millipede survival. For example, the plan may recommend limiting the amount of mulch, rocks, or debris that are likely to create moist areas favoring large numbers of millipedes.

• We Keep Watch: We’ll treat the interior of your home and install pest monitors in critical areas such as kitchens, baths, utility rooms, and garages.

• We Report: We’ll always provide a detailed report of services rendered and recommendations to help keep your home free of spiders and other pests.

• We Follow Up: We’ll stay in touch between our regularly scheduled visits and respond to any immediate needs.
