Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does centipede and millipede control cost in Mexia?
A treatment runs $120 to $250 in Mexia, with crawl space work from $200 to $450. Coverage is often included in a quarterly pest plan.
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.
