Our technicians know a lot about millipede infestations. We know how to immediately spot the signs of millipedes and where to find the source of the infestation. We will visit your home to search for:

• Possible infestation locations in the kitchen, bathroom, patio, and even in the walls.
• Signs of millipedes, such as droppings, eggs, and sightings of the bugs themselves.
• Potential entry points for millipedes, including cracks in the walls and foundation.

We complete a full inspection so we can understand the extent of the problem.

We stop the infestation in its tracks by exterminating all traces of millipedes in your home. Our treatments are tough on insects, but safe for your family and pets. This is what you can expect on the day of treatment:

• Our technicians come to your home at a time that is convenient for you, and they immediately get to work.
• We apply the necessary treatments to the infested areas of the home or yard.
• We inspect the infected areas to make sure every single millipede is eliminated.

We use the most effective treatments in order to completely remove millipedes from your home. Our millipede treatments are tough on pests but safe for your family and pets.

Now that the millipedes are gone from your home, we make sure they never come back! To ensure that your home will be protected in the future, our technicians will do the following:

• Apply treatments in strategic locations to create a barrier around your home that keeps millipedes out.
• Make recommendations to reduce the chance of an infestation, including sealing food containers and keeping surfaces clean.
• Return for regular treatments as necessary.

We want to make sure you never have to see millipedes around your home again!

Millipedes can be found just about anywhere. They thrive inside and outside — in cold environments and hot ones. And they are located in nearly every corner of the planet, including Idaho. 

In Idaho, you can find several types of millipedes. The most common species in Idaho include:

• American giant millipede. This is one of the larger millipedes found in North America, including Idaho. It can grow up to 4 inches long and has a dark, cylindrical body.
• Yellow-spotted millipede. Also known as the almond-scented millipede, this species is identifiable by its black body and yellow spots. It emits a cyanide compound as a defense mechanism.
• Greenhouse millipede. This species is often found in greenhouses and gardens. It is relatively small, usually around 1 inch in length, and has a brown or reddish-brown color.
• European millipedes. These are small to medium-sized millipedes that are often introduced species. They have a cylindrical body and are usually dark brown or black.
• American millipedes. These millipedes are native to North America and are commonly found in various habitats. They tend to have a cylindrical body with a more uniform color, typically brown or black.
• Flat-backed millipedes. These millipedes are characterized by their flattened body segments and can be quite colorful, often with bright warning colors.
