Centipede & Millipede Control in Austin, TX

Targeted Pest Treatments Start with a Thorough Inspection

Our centipede and millipede control in Austin begins with a close look at pest activity, entry points, and conditions around your property. Barefoot Mosquito & Pest Control uses those findings to recommend a service plan rather than relying on excessive chemical applications.

Since 1996, we’ve worked to reduce pesticide use while addressing active pest concerns. Every technician holds the required Texas licenses and has completed an apprenticeship, classroom instruction, hands-on field training, and a state-approved exam.

Call (888) 840-5806 or message us online to request an inspection and get clear recommendations for centipedes or millipedes around your Austin home.

How to Tell Centipedes from Millipedes

Centipedes and millipedes may look similar at a glance, but they have different body structures. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension explains that centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment, while millipedes have two pairs. Millipedes also tend to curl when disturbed.

Centipedes have modified front appendages that function as claws and can inject venom. Larger species may cause discomfort through a bite. The Giant Redheaded Centipede, scientifically named Scolopendra heros, has been reported in the Hill Country around Austin.

Millipedes don’t have the same biting structures, but they can release an unpleasant odor when handled. The greenhouse millipede, Oxidus gracilis, is one species commonly found in Texas.

Neither pest is usually considered destructive to a home. However, repeated indoor sightings can indicate favorable moisture conditions, accessible entry points, or outdoor shelter close to the structure.

Our Austin Centipede & Millipede Control Process

We start with a fast quote, often provided in under an hour, followed by a thorough property inspection from a trained technician. What we find determines the recommended scope of service and estimate.

During the property inspection, we assess:

Current centipede or millipede activity
Potential entry points around the property
Moisture, shelter, and other contributing conditions

After the assessment, we explain our findings and provide straightforward recommendations with a clear estimate. You can review the proposed service plan before deciding how to proceed.

We pair targeted pesticide applications with other management techniques intended to reduce pesticide use. Because the appropriate treatment depends on the property conditions and pest activity, we don’t use a predetermined sequence for every home. Recommended plans may include routine follow-up visits to reassess activity and continue the service.

Why Centipedes & Millipedes Enter Austin Homes

Rain and cooler months can bring centipedes and millipedes indoors as moisture and shelter conditions change. A sighting doesn’t necessarily mean they are reproducing inside, but repeated activity deserves a closer inspection.

Texas redheaded centipedes typically hide during the day beneath rocks, leaves, and other shelter. Millipedes also favor damp, protected areas. Debris near a structure, moisture-prone spaces, and gaps around exterior openings can create favorable conditions for either pest.

General property measures may include:

Reducing persistent moisture where practical
Sealing accessible cracks and gaps around exterior openings
Removing leaves, debris, and other shelter close to the home

No single measure can prevent activity from returning. Our inspection identifies the conditions relevant to your property before we recommend centipede or millipede control in Austin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quarterly treatments work best for Round Rock homes. Central Texas’s warm climate keeps pests active nearly year-round, with different seasonal peaks: mosquitoes and ants in spring/summer, rodents in fall/winter, and termites swarming in spring. Quarterly service maintains a protective barrier.
Look for droppings in cabinets or along baseboards, gnaw marks on food packaging, scratching sounds in walls or ceilings at night, grease marks along travel routes, and nesting material in attic spaces. Our technicians can identify the species and entry points during a free inspection.
Termite swarming in Round Rock typically occurs March through May. Williamson County’s limestone terrain and clay soils support year-round underground termite activity, but spring is when swarmers are most visible near windows and foundation walls. If you notice small winged insects or discarded wings, contact us for a free inspection.

Choose One-Time or Ongoing Pest Control

You can choose from one-time treatments, seasonal pest protection, and year-round coverage options. Our Austin pest control service doesn’t require a long-term contract or an expensive equipment purchase, allowing you to select the level of support that suits your needs.

With recurring pest control service in Austin, we’ll return at no additional charge if pests return between treatments. Terms vary by plan, and we’ll explain the recommended option before work begins.

How to Prepare for Your Pest Inspection

A few observations can help the technician focus the inspection. Note where you’ve seen the pests, whether sightings followed wet weather, and whether activity is concentrated near moisture-prone areas.

If it’s safe to do so without handling the pest, take a clear photo or retain a captured specimen for identification. This can help distinguish a centipede from a millipede, especially if the pest isn’t visible during the visit.

Pay attention to activity around exterior openings, sheltered landscape areas, and moisture-prone spaces beneath or beside the home. You don’t need to diagnose the source before calling. Our technician can evaluate the conditions and discuss the next steps with you.
