Signs of an Millipede Infestation
You might already know you have a millipede infestation, but here are a few of the most common signs millipede exterminators look for in your area.
Sightings
Millipedes need specific weather, humidity, and temperature conditions to survive. Depending on the time of the year, they can be seen moving from spot-to-spot seeking just the right conditions.
Dead millipedes
Because they require a huge amount of moisture to live, millipedes will die easily if they are exposed to hot, dry conditions, or if they get caught inside a home. Dead millipedes will roll into a tight bun.
Smell
When millipedes gather in large numbers, their moist exoskeleton will leave a musty scent behind.
What You Need to Know About Millipede
- As arthropods, millipedes are active during many different seasons.
- They tend to seek shelter in moist, dark places. Gardens provide the perfect covering, because plants give shelter from the sun while also supplying water and decaying plant material.
- Millipedes seek out fallen leaves and water-damaged wood for food. However, if these run out, they may start eating the plants growing in your garden.
- They can produce a smelly secretion that’s irritating to the skin, so it’s best to get help from a millipede exterminator; and avoid picking them up.
Helpful Millipede Prevention Tips
Seal common entry points, cracks, and crevices around doors and windows.
Reduce food and water access by fixing leaks and storing food in airtight containers.
Reduce hiding places by cleaning regularly, especially around and under kitchen appliances.

Just like earthworms, millipedes might crawl toward the house or porch as the temperatures cool or after rainfall. Millipedes can come out in large numbers and crawl toward the house during certain seasons.
Although millipedes don’t bite and won’t damage homes, they can produce a foul secretion that can irritate the skin, so it’s always best not to pick them up, and if you see too many of them, callSpireand get rid of millipedes right away.
Millipedes depend on lots of moisture to survive long, so if they get stuck inside the house, they are likely to dry out and perish within a few days.
However, blister beetles — true to their name — can cause painful blisters by secreting nasty chemicals from their abdomen.
Most of the time, millipedes are scavengers that eat decaying plant materials like leaves and water-damaged wood. If their habitat dries out, they may start to eat living plants in order to stay hydrated.
Millipedes search for dark, moist places that shelter them from the sun because most of them are unlikely to survive long without water.
