Identifying Pests in Your Home: Centipedes vs. Millipedes

While often grouped together, centipedes and millipedes are distinctly different pests. Knowing which one you have can help you understand the nature of the problem in your home. Both are drawn to high-moisture areas, but their appearance and behavior are not the same.

  • Centipedes: These pests have one pair of legs per body segment, with legs that stick out to the sides. They are predators that move very quickly to hunt other insects. Their flatter bodies allow them to slip into very small cracks and crevices.
  • Millipedes: These creatures have two pairs of legs per body segment, located directly underneath their cylindrical, worm-like body. They are slow-moving decomposers that feed on damp and decaying wood or plant matter. When disturbed, they often curl into a tight spiral.

Although millipedes are harmless, house centipedes can deliver a painful bite if handled. Correctly identifying the pest is the first step toward implementing an effective control strategy.

Our Method for Controlling Centipedes and Millipedes

At NJ Mosquito Patrol, we use a detailed process to manage centipede and millipede populations and discourage them from returning. Our work focuses not just on the pests you see, but on the conditions that attract them to your home in the first place. We are committed to being thorough.

  • Detailed Inspection: Our service begins with a free inspection to identify problem areas. We look for moisture sources and entry points in basements, crawl spaces, and around your home's foundation.
  • Exterior Barrier Treatment: We apply a protective barrier around the exterior of your home. This treatment targets pests where they live and breed in mulch, soil, and leaf litter, stopping them before they can get inside.
  • Interior Application: We then address the interior, applying treatments to the cracks, crevices, and hidden areas where centipedes and millipedes take shelter. This targets the existing population inside your home.

Our goal is to provide a complete solution. By treating the entire property and addressing entry points, we deliver better, more reliable results.

Why DIY Methods for Pest Invasions Fall Short

When you find centipedes or millipedes, the first impulse is often to grab a can of bug spray. While this might eliminate a few visible pests, it rarely solves the underlying issue. These pests are experts at hiding in places that sprays and traps cannot easily reach.

The real problem often lies with moisture and easy entry points around your home's foundation. Without addressing these core issues, new pests will continue to find their way inside. Over-the-counter products simply do not offer a long-term solution to a persistent infestation.

Professional pest control provides a more complete approach. A trained technician can identify and treat the source of the problem, creating a protective barrier and offering guidance on moisture reduction. This delivers more lasting and effective results than you can achieve on your own.

FAQs About Centipede and Millipede Control in East Brunswick

What is the main difference between centipedes and millipedes?

The easiest way to tell them apart is by their legs and body shape. Centipedes have flatter bodies with one pair of legs per segment that jut out. Millipedes have rounded, worm-like bodies with two pairs of legs per segment tucked underneath their body.

Why am I suddenly seeing so many of these pests?

Sudden invasions, particularly of millipedes, often happen after heavy rain or during seasonal changes in the fall. They are seeking shelter and new sources of moisture. An infestation can indicate a potential moisture issue in your basement, crawlspace, or around your foundation.

Are house centipedes dangerous?

House centipedes are generally not considered dangerous, though they can deliver a painful bite if provoked or handled. Their venom is not potent enough to cause serious harm to humans. They are primarily a nuisance pest that indicates other insects may be present in the home.

How can I stop centipedes and millipedes from getting inside?

You can help by reducing moisture around your foundation, cleaning up leaves and mulch, and sealing cracks or gaps where they might enter. Using a dehumidifier in basements or crawlspaces can also make the area less attractive to them.
