Centipede and millipede control in Rexburg is the moisture-pest management in a city where the damp basements, the irrigated gardens, and the fall leaf litter keep the pressure active. The house centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata) is the common basement inhabitant, and the millipedes are the fall invaders that enter from the gardens and the irrigated beds. Both are the harmless nuisance pests that signal the moisture conditions. The professional treatment combines the exterior perimeter barrier, the interior moisture control, and the exclusion.

The Rexburg centipede and the millipede species

  • House centipede — the long-legged, fast-moving, gray-yellow centipede.
  • Stone centipede — the smaller, slower centipede that lives in the soil and the mulch.
  • Garden millipede — the small, brown, rounded millipede that invades in the fall.
  • Eastern millipede — the larger, black millipede that lives in the leaf litter.

Where the centipedes and the millipedes are in Rexburg

  • The basements and the crawl spaces — the house centipedes.
  • The bathrooms and the laundry rooms — the moisture and the humidity.
  • The foundation and the door thresholds — the millipede entry points.
  • The irrigated garden beds and the mulch — the millipede harborage.
  • The leaf litter and the landscape beds — the millipede feeding areas.

The moisture management
