Millipedes & Centipede Extermination in Chicaco

Millipedes, Centipedes, Crickets, Spiders, Ground Beetles, and even Lady Bugs are arthropods often found in the Greater Chicago Area. These insects begin their lives in the great wilderness, eventually maturing into invaders after moving on to the more favorable conditions of an unsuspecting home. The availability of resources such as food and water, humid and damp corners inside the house, and several other factors attract these arthropods to infest the home eventually. For example, the humid conditions inside the house, coupled with overgrown weeds and other insects, can be excellent conditions for these pests.

The secret to limiting infestations is understanding what attracts the millipedes to your home and what could be considered favorable conditions for their breeding. After identifying these conditions and the things that attract such insects, our exterminator can formulate a plan to effectively solve the pest problem while considering your home’s unique environment.

After assessing the extent of the infestation, our exterminator will educate you on the practices that you can incorporate into your daily routines, which will help prevent any further infestations. By using our strategies, you can avoid most infestations while we can reduce present infestations. These strategies can help limit situations that allow the infestation to grow by directly targeting entry points and breeding grounds that pests can use to invade your home.

Like other arthropods, even millipedes remain outdoors until the environment becomes unfavorable. When their habitats reach extreme climate points, they set out to find shelter from the harsh conditions. Their refuge is often inside an old apartment building filled with insects that millipedes can eat. Millipedes are usually active during the night due to their high sensitivity to direct sunlight.

Greenery near apartment buildings is also a very favorable environment for millipedes to hide. Since these areas are so close to entry points of residential buildings, they become convenient hiding places until the millipedes or centipedes can get a window of opportunity to enter the building. Logically, the removal of such greenery can significantly reduce the chances of infestation in the future. However, it becomes difficult to solve the problem in a minimal number of visits without the client’s cooperation.

At Pest Corp, our first step is identifying the pests invading your home and the resources they are after. By identifying these resources, we can implement strategies to limit their access to food, allowing our exterminator to create a more concrete plan to limit future infestations. By making conditions unfavorable, these pests can be encouraged to move on to other sources in different locations.

Once future infestations are stopped in their tracks, the exterminator can begin fulfilling their role in the demise of the arthropod population present in your home. Through the use of their knowledge, our detail-oriented teams have made it possible for Pest Corp to assist hundreds, if not thousands, of clients, live a pest-free life. And we believe that this can be made possible for you if our teams are informed before it is too late.
