Centipede & Millipede Control

Centipede Control Omaha

Stop Creepy Crawlers From Taking Over Your Home

Finding fast moving centipedes or clusters of millipedes inside your home can make it hard to relax. They seem to appear out of nowhere, often in basements, bathrooms, or along baseboards, and it is easy to wonder what else might be hiding where you cannot see it. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

Priority Termite & Pest Control has been helping families in Omaha and the surrounding area deal with these pests since 2001. As a family operated company, we understand how important it is to feel comfortable in your own space, and we work to provide clear answers and practical solutions rather than quick, confusing fixes. When you are ready to talk through what you are seeing, you can count on our team to listen and explain your options.

Why Centipedes Invade Omaha Homes

Centipedes and millipedes are moisture loving pests that look for damp, sheltered areas. In many Omaha homes, that means basements, crawl spaces, utility rooms, or bathrooms where humidity is higher. You might first notice them when you flip on a light at night and see a centipede dash across the wall or find a few curled up millipedes near a floor drain.

The mix of older homes with stone or block foundations and newer homes with finished basements in Omaha creates plenty of hiding places. Small gaps around utility lines, cracks in foundation walls, and loose weatherstripping can give these pests easy entry. After heavy Midwest rains or when temperatures drop, they often move indoors to escape soggy soil and sudden changes outside.

Most millipedes are considered more of a nuisance than a direct threat, since they do not bite. Centipedes can bite if handled, and that can be painful, although serious reactions are uncommon for most healthy adults. The bigger concern for many homeowners is the feeling that pests are taking over and the worry that moisture problems or other hidden issues might be behind the sudden activity.

How To Reduce Centipedes & Millipedes

There are practical steps you can take around your home to make it less inviting for centipedes and millipedes. These pests look for moisture and hiding places, so small changes that dry things out and reduce clutter can have a noticeable effect. We often talk through simple actions you can start right away while we plan professional treatment if needed.

Helpful steps you can take between visits include:

Fixing or having a professional repair leaky pipes, dripping fixtures, or standing water around floor drains.
Using dehumidifiers in damp basements or utility rooms to lower moisture levels.
Storing items in plastic bins on shelves instead of cardboard boxes on the floor along foundation walls.
Sealing small gaps around utility lines and weatherstripping doors where pests may be entering.
Raking mulch and leaf litter back a bit from the foundation to reduce moist hiding spots right next to the house.

These steps can help reduce the number of pests you see, especially if the problem is still mild. If you continue to find centipedes or millipedes frequently, or if they are showing up in bedrooms and main living areas, that is usually a sign that additional measures are needed.

Our Approach To Centipede & Millipede Control

When you reach out to our team about centipedes or millipedes, we start by asking questions about where and when you are seeing them. This helps us get a picture of what might be attracting them and whether activity has been going on for some time. From there, we schedule a visit at a time that works with your routine, and we arrive ready to look closely at the areas that concern you most.

During an inspection, our technicians walk the interior and key exterior areas with you so you always know what we are doing and why. We check basements, lower level rooms, and moisture prone spots for live pests, shed skins, or droppings. We also look for conditions that support centipedes and millipedes, such as damp cardboard storage, clutter along foundation walls, leaky pipes, or gaps where they may be entering.

After we see what is happening in your home, we explain our findings in plain language. We outline a treatment plan that typically focuses on reducing access points and creating a protective barrier in the areas where these pests travel. Our applications are targeted to cracks, crevices, and other key areas, and we discuss how we work to keep people and pets safe by treating in a controlled, professional way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are centipedes and millipedes in my home dangerous?

Most millipedes are mainly a nuisance and do not bite, while centipedes can bite if handled. For most healthy adults, centipede bites are painful but not serious. The bigger issue is how unsettling repeated sightings can feel, which is why many homeowners choose professional help.

What will your team do during a centipede visit?

During a visit, we inspect the areas where you are seeing pests, look for moisture and entry points, and explain what we find. Then we apply targeted treatments and suggest practical steps you can take. We walk you through each part of the visit so you always know what is happening.

How often will I need treatments for these pests?

The number of visits depends on your home, how severe the problem is, and whether conditions like moisture are corrected. Some situations improve after an initial service and follow up, while others benefit from ongoing maintenance. We explain options so you can choose what fits your needs.

Is your treatment safe for kids and pets?

We use professional products and apply them in a controlled way, focusing on cracks, crevices, and key areas rather than broad, unnecessary coverage. We discuss any preparations ahead of time and answer your questions, so you understand how we work to keep your family and pets safe.

What if I still see centipedes after you treat?

It is common to see some activity shortly after treatment as pests are exposed. What matters is the overall pattern over time. If you have concerns after a visit, we encourage you to call us. Our goal is to support you and adjust the plan when needed.
