Earwig, Centipede & Millipede Control in Austin, TX

These three pests — earwigs, centipedes, and millipedes — are grouped together because they share a common cause: moisture and organic debris around the foundation. After heavy Texas rains they migrate indoors in large numbers, often through garage doors and slab cracks.

Species we treat in Austin

  • European earwigs
  • Ringlegged earwigs
  • House centipedes
  • Texas redheaded centipedes (giant Scolopendra)
  • Garden millipedes
  • Greenhouse millipedes

Signs of an infestation

  • Centipedes darting across bathroom or basement floors at night
  • Curled-up millipedes (dead or alive) along garage walls and patios
  • Earwigs in damp mulch, under flower pots, or in bathrooms
  • Mass invasions after rain — especially in spring and fall
  • A faint odor from disturbed millipedes (defensive secretion)

Why this matters in Austin

Large Texas redheaded centipedes can deliver a painful bite, but most occasional invaders are harmless. The real problem is volume — when conditions are right, dozens or hundreds can show up in a single night. Mulch beds touching the foundation, leaky outdoor faucets, and clogged gutters all make it worse.

Our treatment approach

We apply a granular perimeter treatment to lawns and mulch beds, treat exterior cracks and weep holes with a residual product, and recommend landscape adjustments — pulling mulch back from foundations, fixing drainage, sealing thresholds. Quarterly perimeter service prevents seasonal invasions.
