Do you require Centipede and Millipede Control Services?
With over 20 years of experience, we can get rid of any Centipede and Millipede problems in Calgary and around.
While centipedes and millipedes are technically arthropods rather than insects, their appearance inside a Calgary home can be startling. These multi-legged intruders are often occasional invaders that enter properties when outdoor conditions become too wet or too dry. At YYC Pest Pros, we provide specialized treatments to remove these pests and address the environmental factors that draw them indoors.
It is important to distinguish between these two pests, as their behaviors and reasons for invading differ:
Known for their incredible speed and long, delicate legs, centipedes are predators. If you see them frequently, it often indicates a secondary pest problem, as they are likely entering your home to hunt for spiders, ants, or flies.
These slow-moving scavengers have two pairs of legs per body segment and typically curl into a tight spiral when threatened. They live in moist soil and decaying organic matter but will migrate into basements en masse during heavy Calgary rainfalls or during the autumn cool-down.
Our YYC Pest Pros technicians use a multi-layered approach to ensure these pests stay out of your living space:
1. Interior Hunting Ground Elimination
For centipedes, we focus on removing their food source. By utilizing an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, we reduce the population of smaller insects in your home, forcing centipedes to move elsewhere in search of prey.
2. Moisture & Habitat Management
Millipedes cannot survive in dry environments. We help you identify:
3. Perimeter Barrier Treatments (Seal any gaps)
We apply a professional-grade residual barrier around the exterior foundation, door frames, and window wells. This creates a shield or layer that neutralizes centipedes and millipedes the moment they attempt to transition from your garden into your home.
