Do you need help with a centipede or millipede problem inside your home in Red Oak?

Most centipedes that are found in Texas are relatively small, but some species can grow to be over nine inches long when fully grown. These insects typically live in humid moist environments such as in soil, in leaf litter, under rocks or under wood. Centipedes and millipedes are known to be more as a nuisance than a pest. They tend to spend their winters as adults and lay their egg during the warmer months. Centipedes will bite if provoked, but the bite is usually not medically threatening except to small children or individuals that are allergic to venoms. Millipedes do not bite, but they can produce a fluid that can cause an irritating reaction to the eyes, blister the skin, and produce an unpleasant odor. Centipedes and millipedes do not transmit disease to humans, animals, or plants.  The house centipede can be found in areas such as closets, bathrooms, or underneath the home where the environment is damp and protected. To prevent centipedes and millipedes from entering the home make sure to seal any points of access.

Centipedes and millipedes are common throughout Red Oak, and they frequently infest homes. Most of the time they stay out of sight, but turn on a light at just the right time and you might be in for a fright. More often than not, this happens in the bathroom, and that is never a time when you want to be taken by surprise, especially by a creature with more legs than you can count! 

Although both of these pests look similar, they do have some distinct characteristics. Centipedes are carnivores with legs that grow out of their sides. Millipedes have legs that grow straight down from their bellies and they are herbivores. Both of them will contaminate your home and make a mess. It is never wise to allow an infestation to go unchecked. If you’ve spotted more than one, it’s smart to seek out an experienced exterminator for help.
