Centipede and millipede control for Fort Collins, where a dry climate keeps one pest minor and turns the other into a moisture warning sign.
Call (844) 924-1337Millipedes and centipedes show up in Fort Collins for almost opposite reasons, which is worth knowing before assuming a sighting of one means the same thing as a sighting of the other. Millipedes feed on decaying organic matter that stays consistently moist, a resource Colorado's dry climate rarely provides in any quantity across most yards here, so an actual population is uncommon and tends to stay that way. House centipedes don't eat decaying matter at all; they hunt small insects, and they turn up wherever that prey concentrates, which in older parts of the city means the damp basement corners common under buildings that have stood in Old Town since 1884.
Finding a centipede indoors is therefore a better clue about a hidden moisture or insect problem than finding a millipede is, and tracking down that one damp spot usually resolves the sighting faster than treating the whole foundation would.

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 basements, foundation edges, and damp 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.
