Centipede and millipede control for San Francisco, where the city's near constant natural dampness feeds both pests without much need for irrigation.
Call (844) 924-1337Centipedes are predators drawn to smaller insects rather than plant matter, so finding them around a San Francisco property often signals another, smaller pest problem nearby rather than being the primary issue on its own, while millipedes instead feed on decaying organic material and turn up in the mulch and thatch that holds onto moisture. California's centipede and millipede activity generally tracks with irrigation in the state's drier regions, but San Francisco's persistent coastal fog keeps garden beds and mulched areas damp for much of the year with or without a regular watering schedule.
That means a foggy San Francisco yard can support both pests even on a lighter irrigation routine than a similar yard further inland would need to stay damp enough. A cluster of millipedes after a wet spell, or a centipede sighting that points to a hidden insect problem, are both worth a closer look.

Treatment can reduce and often eliminate centipede activity, especially when it addresses the moisture conditions that are drawing them in, not just the centipedes you can see. Discuss the sightings, moisture conditions, and possible entry points when asking about an inspection and treatment options.
Describe whether you are seeing a group arriving from outdoors or repeated sightings inside. Mention any activity around irrigated areas, mulched beds, and garden areas. Explain whether it followed rain or watering and whether other insects are present. These observations give the inspection a clearer starting point than treating every many-legged pest as the same problem.
Bathrooms are a common spot for centipedes because of the moisture, so control usually involves addressing humidity or leaks in addition to treating the pest directly. Checking the bathroom and adjacent areas for moisture and other insects helps identify what is drawing centipedes indoors.
House-wide centipede control typically starts with identifying every damp area and entry point they could be using, not just the room where you've seen them. An inspection helps establish the extent of the activity and which treatment options fit the findings.
