Centipede & Millipede Control IN Reno
Managing Multi-Legged Pests in the Northern Nevada Climate
Reno residents often encounter centipedes and millipedes in the dampest corners of their homes, such as basements, crawl spaces, and bathrooms. These multi-legged intruders are frequently driven indoors by the extreme temperature shifts of the high desert, seeking refuge when outdoor habitats become too dry or too cold.
At Natura Pest Control, we understand how unsettling it can be to find these fast-moving pests in your living space. With over a decade of experience, we provide proactive, organic-based solutions that address the root cause of these infestations while ensuring the safety of your children and pets.

Identifying the Signs of Centipede and Millipede Activity
Centipedes and millipedes are often grouped, but they represent very different challenges for homeowners. Identifying which one has invaded your property is essential for selecting the correct management strategy, as their feeding habits and behaviors differ significantly despite both being attracted to moisture.
- House Centipedes: Recognized by their long, delicate legs and rapid movement, these predators often hide in dark, humid areas like laundry rooms.
- Common Millipedes: Typically found in large numbers near foundations, these slow-moving scavengers feed on decaying organic matter like mulch and leaves.
- Moisture Red Flags: Seeing these pests frequently is often a primary indicator of hidden leaks, high humidity, or poor drainage around your home.
- Potential for Bites: While millipedes are harmless, certain centipede species can deliver a painful bite if handled, making professional removal a safer choice.
- Seasonal Migrations: You may notice a sudden spike in activity during late summer or after heavy Reno rains when these pests seek stable environments.
Understanding these signs allows you to take action before a few wandering pests turn into a persistent household issue. Because these creatures are highly sensitive to their environment, their presence is usually a symptom of a larger environmental factor that needs professional attention to resolve.

The Importance of Professional Service
Handling centipede and millipede infestations requires a deep understanding of their biological needs, particularly their reliance on high humidity. DIY sprays often provide only temporary relief because they fail to address the underlying moisture issues or the hidden breeding sites near the foundation. Professional intervention is the most efficient way to achieve lasting results.
Expert pest control technicians utilize specialized equipment to reach into voids and crawl spaces where these pests thrive. By identifying the specific species involved, a professional can apply targeted treatments that are far more effective than general retail products. This precision saves homeowners time and money while preventing further property damage from associated moisture problems.
Furthermore, professional services provide a safer environment for residents and their pets. Experienced technicians are trained to apply organic-based solutions in a way that minimizes exposure while maximizing effectiveness. Choosing a professional ensures that your home is treated with the highest standards of care, providing you with a truly pest-free living environment.

FAQs About Centipede & Millipede Control
Are Centipedes And Millipedes Dangerous In My Home?
Most millipedes are mainly a nuisance and do not bite, although large numbers can be frustrating. Some centipedes can bite, which may cause discomfort similar to a bee sting. We assess what you are seeing, explain the real level of risk, and create a plan that fits your comfort level.
Are Your Centipede Treatments Safe For Children And Pets?
Our family-first approach prioritizes safety. We use organic products inside your home and carefully selected, organic-blended treatments outdoors. Our technicians explain where and how products are applied, and we let you know if any short-term precautions are recommended so you can feel comfortable during and after service.
Why Do Centipedes Keep Coming Back Even After I Spray?
Sprays alone rarely address the root of the problem. Centipedes and millipedes are often linked to moisture, shelter, and entry points that need attention. We use integrated pest management to focus on those conditions and can recommend seasonal services to help reduce recurring issues over time.
How Quickly Can Your Team Come To My Home?
We offer same-day and emergency services whenever our schedule allows, and we work to accommodate urgent situations. When you call, our office will review available appointment windows and help you choose a time that works. Our goal is to make scheduling smooth and to get you relief as soon as possible.
What Should I Expect During A Centipede Visit?
During your visit, we inspect key areas, explain what we find, and outline a clear treatment plan. We use organic treatments indoors and targeted applications outside, then review what we did and any follow-up steps. You can expect friendly technicians, clear answers to your questions, and thoughtful guidance for your home.
