Centipedes and millipedes are common pests found in Florida, especially in moist environments. While they may look similar, they have key differences. Centipedes are elongated, flattened arthropods with one pair of legs per body segment, known for their fast movements and predatory nature. Millipedes, on the other hand, are rounder and slower, with two pairs of legs per segment, feeding primarily on decaying plant matter.
Though they are generally not harmful to humans, centipedes can deliver a painful bite if threatened, while millipedes can release a foul-smelling fluid when disturbed.
Centipedes and millipedes thrive in Florida’s humid, tropical environment. You’re likely to find them in areas with high moisture, such as gardens, mulch beds, under rocks, or in basements and crawl spaces. They often enter homes when seeking shelter during dry or rainy seasons.
While centipedes and millipedes are mostly nuisance pests, their presence in your home or yard can be unsettling. For effective, long-term control, professional pest management is the best solution. Our team specializes in centipede and millipede control, offering safe and comprehensive treatment options to eliminate infestations and prevent their return.
