Get Rid Of Centipedes and Millipedes In Boise, Idaho

Greenhouse Millipedes

In Boise, Idaho

The Greenhouse Millipede, also known as the garden millipede, can pose nuisance problems when conditions become too hot and dry, prompting them to seek moisture in and around homes. They are highly susceptible to desiccation and tend to leave their normal habitat during wet rainy periods. While these small millipedes primarily feed on decaying plant matter and generally do not harm plants unless they are already damaged or decayed, they may occasionally feed on live plant materials, especially in greenhouse environments.

Brown Centipede

In Boise, Idaho

The Brown Centipede, known for its distinctive coloration, is a common sight in many households. However, despite their beneficial role in controlling other pests like cockroaches, moths, flies, and termites, centipedes can become a nuisance when they invade homes, particularly in areas with high moisture levels. Additionally, centipedes in lawns can sometimes contribute to problems such as large patch, a fungal disease that causes circular patches of grass to turn brown and die. Therefore, understanding how to control and prevent centipede invasions is important for maintaining a comfortable living environment and healthy outdoor spaces.
