Millipede Control for Williamsburg Homes
After a heavy rain, millipedes migrate out of the mulch and leaf litter and crawl right up Williamsburg foundations.
Our technicians treat the damp perimeter zones where they breed and stop the march before it reaches your door.
Read more about Millipede Control in Williamsburg
Millipedes live in the decaying organic matter that piles up under the mature canopy shading this area. When the soil gets waterlogged during summer storms, they leave the saturated ground by the hundreds and head for higher, drier ground, which often means your foundation. Homes in wooded neighborhoods like Ford's Colony, ringed by mulch beds and leaf litter, see the biggest surges. They slip in under doors and through foundation gaps, then usually dry out and die just inside.
Our technicians work the foundation line, the mulch beds, and the soggy low spots to pinpoint where millipedes are massing. A perimeter application lays down a treated band they will not push past, and we flag the drainage and mulch changes that cut the dampness pulling them toward the house. Quarterly service keeps that band renewed straight through the rainy stretch, all under our Pest-Free Guarantee.
