Once the cold weather hits, they will become dormant… at least until springtime rolls around again! If you have a problem with millipedes or any other household pests, contact your local pest control company for a free analysis.

How long does a millipede infestation last?

When millipedes make their way inside your house, they stick around because they don't know how to get back out. If you find millipedes in your house, you can consider waiting them out. Millipedes can only survive a few days in the dry environment found in most homes, so any infestation is likely to be short-lived.

Why are there so many millipedes this year?

Millipede populations have been favored by the wet weather of the past decade. More recently, the mild winter just past may have improved their survival. And finally, damp, warm weather so far this summer has favored the nocturnal migrations of these extraordinary populations.
