Millipedes
Millipedes are common in the Southeastern United States. These multi-legged arthropods are recognized for their elongated, segmented bodies and cylindrical shape. Although millipedes are typically harmless to humans, they can become a nuisance when their numbers increase, often entering homes and other structures. In the Southeast, they thrive in moist environments, and their presence is especially noticeable during heavy rainfall.
PestNation is adept at handling millipede infestations, offering effective solutions to manage these issues. Our services focus on identifying and controlling millipede populations to maintain a pest-free environment for Southeast residents. Using environmentally friendly methods, PestNation works to resolve millipede problems while safeguarding both homes and the surrounding ecosystem.
Types of Millipedes
The Southeastern United States hosts a variety of millipede species, each adding to the region's ecological diversity. Notable species in the Southeast include the Flat-backed Millipede (Polydesmida), known for its flattened shape, and the North American Millipede (Narceus americanus), which is recognized for its large size and dark coloration. The Yellow-spotted Millipede (Harpaphe haydeniana) is also notable for its distinctive yellow markings.
While these millipedes play crucial roles in natural decomposition, their large populations can become a nuisance, particularly when they enter homes.
