Expert Millipede Control in Hampton Roads
Perimeter and moisture treatments stop millipede invasions at the foundation. Humid summers and mild winters give pests a long season here, so we work the source rather than the symptom — find where the infestation starts, clear it, and close the way back in.
Our Proven 3-Step Process
Inspect
We conduct a thorough evaluation of your property to identify the exact species, entry points, and nesting areas.
Treat
Using advanced, targeted treatments, we eliminate the infestation at its source while keeping your family and pets safe.
Guarantee
We back our work with our Pest-Free Guarantee. If they return between scheduled visits, we return for free.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a millipede invasion in my home?
The most common sign is finding slow-moving, worm-like millipedes with many legs curled up along baseboards, in bathrooms, garages, or near foundation walls. In Hampton Roads, homeowners often notice sudden invasions after heavy rain when millipedes migrate indoors by the dozens. Because they curl into a spiral when disturbed, spotting these coiled bodies indoors is a telltale sign.

Get a QuoteWhy do millipedes invade Hampton Roads homes after it rains?
Millipedes need moisture to survive and normally live in damp soil, mulch, and leaf litter, but when the ground becomes waterlogged from our frequent coastal storms they move indoors to escape. Tidewater homes with high humidity, damp crawl spaces, and moist foundation soil are especially prone to these seasonal migrations. Mild Virginia winters also let millipede populations build up in the soil around your home.
Block Millipede Migrations
We treat the foundation zones where millipedes enter after heavy rain.
Request ServiceAre the products you use for millipedes safe around children and pets?
Yes, we use pet-safe and family-safe products and apply them strategically around foundations, entry points, and damp perimeter areas where millipedes travel. Our technicians focus treatments outside common living spaces to keep your family comfortable. If you prefer, all-natural product options are available upon request.
Safe Millipede Solutions
Keep millipedes out with treatments applied with your family's safety in mind.

Yes, since millipedes are driven indoors by moisture, reducing dampness around and under your home is key to long-term prevention. As the Total Home Health Professionals, Universal bundles pest control with insulation and duct cleaning to address the humidity and crawl space conditions that attract millipedes.
