Centipede and Millipede Infestations: Identification, Removal, and Control

Centipedes and millipedes are some of the more common pests found in homes throughout Texas. While they may look similar, these two arthropods have different habits and require different treatment plans for control. At Texas Bug Control, we understand how to identify the pest you’re dealing with and provide the necessary services to remove them from your home.

The most noticeable difference between centipedes and millipedes is their physical appearance. Centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment while millipedes have two pairs per segment. Centipedes can range in color from yellowish-brown to red or even green, while millipedes typically range from black or dark brown colors. Both can range in size from less than ¼ inch up to several inches in length.

When identifying a centipede infestation, the most common signs are the presence of active bugs and fecal pellets near baseboards, entryways or windowsills. Centipedes feed on other arthropods such as spiders, moths and flies, so if you have an abundance of these pests in your home, you may be dealing with a centipede problem.

Millipedes are often found congregating outdoors near damp areas such as wood piles, compost heaps and underneath mulch. They can also move indoors when conditions become wet enough for them to survive, including basements or outdoor crawl spaces. The most common sign of a millipede infestation is the presence of a large group of bugs.
