Centipede & Millipede Control in Angola, Indiana

Pest problems in Angola are shaped by the place. The glacial till and limestone-based loam retains moisture through the year, the flat farmland and rolling hills provides harborage, and the humid continental climate means the active season never fully ends.

Why Angola homes get centipedes and millipedes

The glacial till and limestone-based loam that surrounds Angola is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what centipedes and millipedes need to thrive. The flat farmland and rolling hills adds harborage, and the humid continental climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Ohio and Wabash rivers and lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
