Identifying Centipedes vs. Millipedes in Your Home

When you find a pest with too many legs for comfort inside your house, it's easy to be concerned. While both centipedes and millipedes are common in Bradenton, they are very different creatures. You can explore their differences in our pest library. Understanding which one you are dealing with helps us create the most effective treatment plan.

Centipedes are recognizable by their flattened bodies and one pair of long legs per body segment, which allows them to move very quickly. They are predators that hunt other insects, so their presence can sometimes signal a larger pest issue. Effective centipede control in Bradenton often involves addressing their food source.

Millipedes, in contrast, have rounded, tube-like bodies and two pairs of shorter legs per segment, making them much slower. They primarily eat decaying organic material and are drawn to moisture. This is why you may see large numbers of them after heavy rain, requiring professional millipede control.

While their habits and diets are distinct, you don't need to be an expert to get help. Our experienced team can quickly identify the specific pest causing problems in your home and implement a targeted solution that brings you and your family lasting peace of mind.

Your Proactive Partner in Total Pest Protection

Our philosophy goes beyond simply reacting to a pest problem. We believe in forming a lasting partnership with you to protect your entire property. A truly pest-free home is achieved not just with treatment, but with a proactive strategy that addresses why pests are attracted to your home in the first place.

This approach begins with prevention. For centipedes and millipedes, controlling the environment is key to long-term success, especially in our humid Bradenton climate. We empower homeowners with the knowledge to make their properties less inviting to these pests.

  • Manage Moisture: Address any leaky pipes or faucets and ensure crawl spaces or basements are well-ventilated, as these pests thrive in dampness.
  • Seal Entry Points: We can help you identify and seal tiny cracks in your foundation, gaps under doors, and spaces around utility lines where pests gain entry.
  • Maintain Your Yard: Keep mulch, firewood, and leaf piles away from your foundation, as this organic debris provides the perfect shelter and food source for millipedes.

While these steps are crucial for controlling common intruders, we know that true peace of mind comes from knowing your property is protected from every angle. Our expertise doesn't stop at centipedes and millipedes. As your comprehensive pest control partner in Bradenton, we are fully equipped to handle any challenge.

From the silent threat of termites to the unsettling signs of rodents, our state-certified team provides complete solutions. We offer expert termite control, rodent management, and lawn care services to ensure every part of your property is healthy and protected. Think of us as your single point of contact for a safe and comfortable home, inside and out.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Are Your Treatments Safe for Children & Pets? 

Yes, the safety of your family and pets is our highest priority. Our entire treatment process is built around the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a responsible approach that focuses on using a deep understanding of pest biology to find effective, low-impact solutions. We exclusively use EPA-approved products that are specifically selected for their safety profile within residential and commercial environments. Before any treatment, our state-certified technician will provide you with clear instructions, explain the process, and offer guidance for aftercare, ensuring you are comfortable and informed every step of the way.

What Makes Professional Control Better Than DIY? 

While DIY products can offer a temporary fix for a few visible pests, they rarely address the underlying cause of an infestation. Our professional approach is far more comprehensive because our state-certified technicians are trained investigators. We don't just treat the pests you see; we identify how and why they are getting in, locate their nesting areas, and assess the environmental factors contributing to the problem. We then use professional-grade products and advanced, targeted methods that are not only more effective than store-bought options but are also applied with precision to be safer for your family. This strategic approach yields faster, longer-lasting results and is the key to preventing future outbreaks.

Does Florida Require Any Special Permits for These Services? 

Yes, the pest control industry is carefully regulated by the State of Florida to ensure consumer safety and environmental protection. All professional centipede and millipede control services must be performed by a state-certified and licensed company that complies with strict guidelines set by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) and Manatee County. We are fully certified, licensed, and insured to perform all structural pest management services. When you partner with us, you can have complete confidence that all work is compliant, safe, and held to the highest professional standard.

No, we do not require long-term contracts for our millipede or centipede control services in Bradenton. We believe our work should speak for itself, and we are committed to earning your trust and continued business through the quality of our results and our dedication to customer service. Our bug-free guarantee is our promise to you; if pests return between treatments, so do we, at no extra cost. This philosophy allows you to have complete flexibility and control, ensuring you only pay for the services you need, without being locked into a binding commitment or worrying about hidden fees.

  • What are bill bugs?

    Bill bugs are a type of weevil that is well-known for their behavior of destroying lawns. There are dozens of different bill bug species, and around ten of these species are particularly known for invading lawns and munching away on the plants they find there both as adults and in their immature stages.

    Adult bill bugs grow to be around 1/4 of an inch long and have black or grey bodies. They have long snouts and a broad thorax, plus six legs. Larval bill bugs are also referred to as grubs, and they are plump, cream, or white in color, and curved or C-shaped.

    Westfall's Lawn and Pest will help you with identification issues and provide you with effective bill bug removal solutions.

  • Are bill bugs dangerous?

    Bill bugs are relatively harmless to humans, as they don’t bite, nor do they transmit bacteria and pathogens to human properties. However, an infestation of bill bugs is dangerous for your outdoor areas as these insects chew away at the roots of your grass and other vegetation. Over time, a bill bug infestation will completely destroy the health of your outdoor plants and leave your lawn looking brown, patchy, and parched.

    Another major problem with widespread bill bug infestation is the predators that will come looking to eat these insects. Having an infestation of bill bugs often leads to a plethora of birds, skunks, and wasps on your property causing their own serious issues.

  • Why do I have a bill bug problem?

    Bill bugs are attracted to properties where they have lots of food in the form of grass and leaves to chew. In most cases, untreated lawns, overgrown grasses, and trees that are not protected by pest repellents will be prime attractants to bill bugs looking to feed and lay their eggs. These pests are most active in summer as they move from yard to yard searching for food.

  • Where will I find bill bugs?

    Bill bugs are almost always found outside, as they prefer to inhabit long grasses, trees, leaf piles, and other areas of overgrown foliage. You may see bill bugs occasionally gathering on the siding of your home, and they may accidentally find their way indoors, but these insects will die if they are away from lawns and garden spaces for too long.

  • How do I get rid of bill bugs?

    If you want to get rid of bill bugs around your Bradenton home the easy way, contact Westfall's Lawn and Pest at the first signs of this insect infesting your property. Dry grasses, brown patches, and parched-looking lawns are all indicators that it's time to turn to the professionals.

    Our team will work with you to identify your lawn’s bill bug and pest control needs before providing you with tailored solutions that effectively eradicate all traces of this pest from your property.

    Contact us today for an evaluation.

  • How can I prevent bill bugs in the future?

    Prevent bill bugs from returning to your property in the future by following our expert tips below:

    • Ensure your lawn is properly watered and fertilized, as this helps it withstand bill bug infestations and recover from any damage faster.
    • Clear outdoor spaces of overgrown grasses and piles of debris in addition to pruning trees in order to reduce bill bug attractants.
    • Utilize window and door screens to keep bill bugs from accidentally moving into interior spaces.
    • Mow your lawn regularly to ensure it stays in good condition.
