Centipede & Millipede Control in Brandon, FL

Centipedes and millipedes thrive in Brandon’s humid climate, seeking out damp basements, bathrooms, and garden edges. At Friendly Pest Solutions, we combine over 25 years of local expertise with eco-friendly methods to identify, treat, and prevent these pests, so you can enjoy your home or business without unwelcome visitors.

During Florida’s rainy seasons, centipedes often migrate indoors in search of drier conditions, signaling excess moisture around your foundation. Millipedes, attracted to decaying plant matter, can invade in large numbers and create nuisance conditions. Early detection of these patterns is crucial to stop infestations before they spread.

Brandon’s Centipede & Millipede Challenges

Brandon’s subtropical environment creates perfect breeding grounds. Heavy rainfall and high humidity lead to moisture buildup around homes, inviting centipedes that prey on other insects but spook residents with their rapid movements. Millipedes, while harmless to humans, feed on organic debris and can overwhelm crawl spaces and patios in swarms.

Recognizing the difference matters: centipedes are long, flattened, and faster, while millipedes have rounded bodies and move more slowly. Their presence often points to underlying issues, poor drainage, unsealed cracks, or excessive vegetation near your foundation. Addressing these conditions is the first step toward lasting control.

Our Proven Three-Step Control Process for Centipede & Millipede in Brandon

• Comprehensive Inspection: We start with a detailed assessment of interior and exterior entry points, moisture hotspots, and landscape factors that attract these pests.
• Targeted Treatment: Using EPA-approved, low-impact products, we treat perimeter zones and key interior areas. Our eco-friendly solutions are effective against centipedes and millipedes while remaining safe for children, pets, and beneficial insects.
• Prevention & Follow-Up: After treatment, we recommend moisture-control measures—such as dehumidifier use and gutter maintenance—and schedule follow-up visits to ensure populations remain suppressed.

Our systematic approach not only removes current infestations but also builds a barrier against future invasions.

Long-Term Prevention Strategies

A successful centipede and millipede program combines professional treatment with homeowner action:

• Moisture Management: Fix leaks, install or maintain proper gutter systems, and consider a sump pump in basements.
• Structural Sealing: Caulk cracks in foundations, install door sweeps, and repair damaged screens.
• Landscape Maintenance: Trim vegetation at least 12 inches from your exterior walls, remove mulch layers that retain moisture, and store firewood away from the home.
• Regular Monitoring: Schedule seasonal inspections, especially after heavy rains, to catch any resurgence early.

Implementing these measures alongside our treatments creates an environment that is unattractive to these pests, keeping your property protected year-round.
