Dan Baldwin, Entomologist

Many ants look very similar and the species can be hard to identify. But in reality, most common ant species are treated the same way. 

Unless it’s fire ants or carpenter ants, it really doesn’t matter what species it is. If you see ants in your home or business, they’re looking for a place to find water, find food, or to nest. Call Hawx right away and our techs will address your ant problems.

Pest Control for Millipedes and Centipedes: How it Works

  • Inspection

    We start by tracing activity to damp zones—crawl spaces, basements, mulch beds, and slab edges—to confirm a millipede or centipede infestation. Your tech notes entry gaps and moisture pockets, then builds a simple plan that fits your home and yard.

  • Exterior Barrier Application

    As part of ongoing centipede and millipede pest control, we apply a residual foundation barrier and spot-treat areas like flower beds, tree bases, and stone borders.

  • Treat the Trouble Spots

    We add precise millipede and centipede treatment along baseboards, utility penetrations, and wall voids—only where it’s needed—so you get fast results without overdoing it.

  • Make the Yard Less Inviting
    • Your tech shares easy centipede and millipede prevention tips, then fine-tunes the plan at any needed follow-up appointments for long-lasting relief.

What to Expect with Millipede and Centipede Treatments

From the moment you schedule service, we make the process transparent and straightforward:

  1. First, a Hawx technician confirms your appointment and answers quick prep questions for your home (like clearing floor edges and noting where you’ve seen millipede and/or centipede activity). 
  2. Once onsite, we walk the property inside and out, explain what’s drawing pests in, and outline a straightforward path for lasting millipede and centipede control. Then we lay down an exterior barrier, treat yard hot spots, and add targeted interior applications only if activity is confirmed. 

3. Afterward, we review everything we did, share practical moisture and landscaping tweaks, and send a digital service report with photos and next steps. If something pops up between visits, just call—your warranty covers follow-up service, if needed.

4. First, we confirm your appointment and share a quick prep checklist—clear floor edges, lift items off closet floors, and ensure access to bathrooms, basements, and utility rooms. 

5. On arrival, your technician performs a detailed inspection, explains where these insects thrive, and outlines the plan. We treat the exterior perimeter, then address interior hot spots only if needed for precise, lasting millipede & centipede control

6. Before leaving, we review what was done, set expectations for results, and provide a digital report with photos and easy prevention tips—like reducing humidity and storing paper goods in sealed bins. 

Hawx technicians use targeted products, smart moisture-reduction strategies, and precision crack‑and‑crevice applications to stop millipede/centipede activity fast, while keeping them from coming back. Each plan is customized to your home’s layout and environment for consistent, long‑term results. Request your free estimate today and make these unwelcome crawlers a thing of the past.

FAQs

How much does professional millipede and centipede treatment cost?

Millipedes and centipedes are included in our General Pest Control (GPC) plan. During your first visit, we assess activity levels, moisture conditions, and property layout, then give you a customized quote so you’ll know exactly what your service includes.

Absolutely. Our technicians use targeted barrier applications, crack‑and‑crevice treatments, and moisture‑management strategies to eliminate current infestations while helping prevent future ones from developing inside or around your home’s foundation.

The most effective approach focuses on moisture control and prevention. We combine foundation barriers, yard treatments, and entry‑point sealing with a few simple habitat adjustments to reduce damp conditions where these millipedes and centipedes thrive.

Millipedes and centipedes are covered under our ongoing GPC subscription service, which includes seasonal visits to help prevent infestations year‑round and respond fast if activity increases between services.
