Centipedes and millipedes in Manchester's damp old basements, where stone and block foundations hold moisture longer than modern construction.
Call (844) 924-1337The stone and block foundations under Manchester's older, mill-era housing hold moisture more readily than a modern poured foundation, and that dampness is exactly what draws house centipedes hunting the small prey insects that gather there.
Millipedes work off a different trigger, moving toward drier ground after heavy rain saturates the soil near Manchester's yards, so both pests tend to show up in the same wetter stretches of spring and fall.

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 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.
