Why Mountain Home homes get centipedes and millipedes

The semi-arid climate and the volcanic loam and sandy soil of Elmore County combine to keep centipedes and millipedes active through most of the year. The the Snake River Plain, mountains, and high desert provides natural harborage, and the moisture near the foundations supports the populations. The homes that stay ahead of it are the ones on a plan that matches the local calendar.

Prevention tips for Mountain Home homeowners

• Clear the leaf litter and the mulch from the foundation.
• Reduce the moisture and fix the drainage issues.
• Keep the grass short and the ground cover thin.
• Seal the gaps around the doors and the foundation.
• Vent the crawl space to keep it dry.

In Mountain Home, the homes that stay pest-free are the ones that stay on the schedule. The warm summers, cold winters, low humidity climate and the volcanic loam and sandy soil mean the pressure never fully stops, and the seasonal visits are what keep it manageable. A single treatment is rarely enough; the plan is what works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do I have so many millipedes?

Millipedes build up in the damp leaf litter and the mulch, then move onto the foundation walls and the walkways after rain as the ground dries.

Q: Are centipedes and millipedes harmful?

House centipedes bite rarely and are mostly harmless, and millipedes are a nuisance that can gather in large numbers. Neither damages the structure.

Q: Where do they come from?

They come from the damp soil and the organic matter around the foundation. Removing the harborage and treating the perimeter stops the migration.

Q: Will they keep coming back?

Not if the moisture and the harborage are corrected. The treatment knocks down the population, and the dry, clean perimeter keeps the conditions from returning.

Q: How much does centipede and millipede control cost in Mountain Home?
