Millipede Control

Millipedes are common household pests throughout Arizona, causing annoyance and potential health concerns. If you’re experiencing an infestation, it’s essential to take swift and effective action.

Identification of Millipedes

Millipedes are characterized by their elongated, segmented bodies, each segment bearing two pairs of legs. They range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters and typically have a dark brown or black coloration. Millipedes actually have no eyes but instead use their antennae for sensing their surroundings.

Reasons behind Millipede Infestations

Millipedes do best in damp and dark environments. That is why they can be found under rocks, woodpiles and decaying vegetation. As omnivores, millipedes eat decaying organic matter, such as leaves, wood and dead insects. Thus, when residential properties have these conditions, you may have millipedes.
