Millipede Control for Norfolk Homes
Heavy Norfolk rains push millipedes out of mulch and leaf litter and straight toward foundation walls and doorways.
Our technicians treat the outdoor harborage so they stop wandering inside.
Read more about Millipede Control in Norfolk
Millipedes live in the damp organic layer along foundations, and Norfolk's frequent rain and coastal humidity keep that layer moist. When the ground floods near the rivers, they migrate up walls and under doors by the hundreds. Shaded beds in neighborhoods like Ghent and Colonial Place, thick with mulch and leaves, give them ideal cover. The invasions cluster right after storms.
We inspect the foundation perimeter, beds, and entry points, then treat the harborage and create a treated barrier around the home. Pulling mulch back and improving drainage cuts off the moisture they depend on. If millipedes push back in between visits, the Pest-Free Guarantee brings us back at no charge.

|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| 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.
