Millipedes and centipedes are generally not harmful to humans. However, some species of centipedes have venomous bites that can cause mild to moderate pain and swelling.

To prevent millipedes and centipedes from entering your home, make sure to seal any cracks or openings in the foundation, windows, and doors. Keep your home clean and free of debris, as these pests are attracted to moisture and decaying organic matter.

Millipedes primarily feed on decaying plant matter, while centipedes are carnivorous and feed on small insects, spiders, and other arthropods.

A millipede or centipede infestation can be identified by the presence of these pests in and around your property. You may also notice damage to plants, gardens, or the presence of shed exoskeletons.

In Winter Haven and nearby locations like Auburndale and Lakeland, homeowners often encounter several common ant species. House ants, fire ants, and carpenter ants are prevalent in this region. House ants are typically found in kitchens and pantries, while fire ants can create mounds in yards and are known for their painful stings. Carpenter ants, on the other hand, can cause structural damage as they burrow into wood. Understanding the specific type of ant infestation is crucial for effective control, and our team is equipped to identify and address these issues promptly.

Identifying an ant infestation can be straightforward if you know what to look for. Common signs include seeing ants foraging for food, especially in kitchens or around pet food. You may also notice trails of ants leading to food sources. Additionally, if you hear rustling noises in your walls, particularly at night, it could indicate carpenter ants building nests. Finding wood shavings or sawdust around wooden structures is another strong indicator. If you suspect an infestation, it's best to contact our team for a thorough inspection and effective ant control solutions.
