Millipede Control for Hampton Homes
Every hard rain pushes millipedes out of the mulch and leaf litter and straight toward Hampton foundations.
Our technicians treat those entry zones and clear the damp cover that draws them up against the house.
Millipedes need moisture, and there is no shortage of it near the bay. After heavy storms they leave soggy mulch beds, flower borders, and piled leaves, then crawl toward foundations looking for shelter, a pattern common around Grandview and Downtown Hampton. They slip in through gaps at door sweeps and crawl space vents.
Our technicians treat the foundation perimeter and the mulch and litter where millipedes gather, then point out drainage and yard cleanup that reduces the dampness. Sealing low entry points keeps the strays outside where they belong. Free inspections let us map the wet zones before the next round of rain.

|---|---|---|
| UniGuard ProgramExclusive | Universal Pest Control Termite protection and full pest control combined in one membership for one low monthly payment — from $59/month, with the termite warranty and quarterly pest service included together. | Most pest control companies Termite protection and pest control are usually sold as two separate agreements, with two renewals and two bills to keep track of. |
| SmartPay financingExclusive | Universal Pest Control $0-down payment options on termite treatments, baiting systems, and repairs, so the work can start before payday. Simple, predictable monthly payments. | Most pest control companies Financing, where it is offered, is commonly arranged separately through a third-party lender. |
| Pest Guard Attic Insulation™Exclusive | Universal Pest Control Hampton Roads' only licensed Pest Guard Insulation™ installer, through our sister company Universal Insulation Doctor — insulation manufactured with an EPA-registered pest preventative, so the replacement itself resists the insects that ruined the original. | Most pest control companies Attic insulation is typically referred out, and standard fiberglass has no pest deterrent built into the material. |
| Total Home Health Network | Universal Pest Control Pest and termite control, attic insulation, and duct cleaning coordinated under one roof through the Universal family of companies — one point of contact for the whole job, done in the right order. | Most pest control companies Pest control only.
