Similar names, different pests.
Centipedes and millipedes differ in appearance and habits. Tell us whether the animal moves quickly, curls up or appears in groups, and share a photo if you have one. Mention nearby moisture, leaf litter and recent changes in irrigation. The goal is to understand both the animal and the route into the property before deciding what service makes sense.
What brings homeowners to us
- Many-legged insects or similar arthropods appearing indoors
- Repeated activity near damp rooms or exterior doors
- Groups of crawling pests near garden beds or thresholds
Before you book
Note any leaks or persistently damp areas and discuss access to the affected rooms. Ask what pest control covers and whether drainage or other property maintenance needs separate attention.
