Millipede Control
Seasonal yard treatments to keep millipedes from invading your home during Southwest Florida's rainy season.
Millipedes show up in huge numbers around Southwest Florida homes during the rainy season, typically mid-May through mid-September, often turning up in droves near foundations, garages, and patios after a heavy rain. We apply a liquid treatment to your yard during their active months, covering the foundation wall and extending out 20 feet, to deter adult millipedes from getting inside your home. Each application controls 75-80% of the active millipede population at the time we treat, so we apply it every six weeks while they're active to keep numbers down through the season.
Our Process
- Yard assessment to confirm millipede activity and conditions drawing them in
- Liquid application to the foundation wall and out 20 feet, deterring adult millipedes from entering the home
- Reapplication every six weeks during active season (mid-May to mid-September)
- Each application controls roughly 75-80% of the active millipede population at the time of treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
When are millipedes the biggest problem in Southwest Florida?
Millipedes are most active during the rainy season, typically mid-May through mid-September, when you'll often see large numbers near foundations, garages, and patios after heavy rain.
Are millipedes dangerous?
Millipedes aren't a direct threat to people or pets, but large numbers invading a home or patio are a serious nuisance, and some species can release a mild irritant if handled.
Will one treatment get rid of all the millipedes?
Each application controls about 75-80% of the active millipede population at that time, which is why we treat every six weeks during their active season to keep numbers down consistently.
