Centipede & Millipede Control in North Richland Hills

Local Pest Control Rooted in Tarrant County Since 1989

Centipedes and millipedes don’t show up randomly. When North Texas summers push heat and heavy rain into Tarrant County soil, these moisture-seeking arthropods move toward home foundations and work their way inside. Myles Pest Services has been solving exactly this problem for North Richland Hills homeowners and businesses since Pat and Suzan Myles founded the company here in 1989. We know this area’s seasonal pest patterns because we’ve worked through them for over three decades. Treatments are selected with children and pets in mind, and every service is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

We provide residential and commercial centipede and millipede control throughout North Richland Hills and the surrounding Tarrant County communities, following Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles that address both the pest and the conditions drawing it to your property.

How We Treat Centipedes & Millipedes

Every service starts with a thorough property inspection. Our technicians identify moisture sources, likely entry points, and the harborage areas where these pests shelter during the day. That inspection shapes the treatment plan rather than a one-size-fits-all application.

Control typically combines a perimeter barrier treatment around the foundation with targeted interior treatment for active infestations. We apply treatments to harborage zones, entry points, and exterior perimeter areas using methods selected with children and pets in mind. Because environmental conditions drive these pests indoors as much as anything else, we also address contributing factors: mulch buildup against the foundation, leaf litter, poor drainage, and gaps in doors, windows, and utility penetrations that give them a path inside.

For ongoing protection, our recurring service plans include free re-services between scheduled visits. If centipedes or millipedes come back before your next appointment, we return to re-service the affected areas.

Why Centipedes & Millipedes Enter North Richland Hills Homes

North Richland Hills sits squarely in the zone where North Texas summers drive the most pest pressure. Heavy rainfall saturates soil and pushes centipedes and millipedes toward cooler, drier shelter near and inside homes. During dry stretches, millipedes migrate inward, chasing moisture. Either way, your foundation perimeter can become an entry corridor.

Centipedes are predators. They follow the insects already inside your home: ants, roaches, silverfish, and crickets. Finding one in a bathroom or crawl space often signals both a moisture issue and an underlying insect population. Millipedes are detritivores that feed on decaying plant matter and tend to accumulate in mulch and organic debris near the foundation before migrating indoors during moisture events. Neither species transmits disease to humans or animals, though centipedes can bite if handled, and millipedes may secrete a fluid that irritates skin or eyes. Their presence can signal that your property’s conditions need attention.
