Occasional invaders, like millipedes and centipedes, spike during humid Georgia summers and during fluctuating moisture cycles along the Wasatch Front, driving these fast-moving pests into basements, crawl spaces, and lower levels of homes.

In North Georgia cities like Alpharetta, Duluth, Dacula, Roswell, Lawrenceville, and Sandy Springs, heavy rainfall and dense forests create ideal breeding conditions. During storms, millipedes migrate in large numbers toward structures, while centipedes follow prey into garages and living spaces.

In Utah County and Salt Lake County, irrigation systems, cool basement foundations, and spring snowmelt create concentrated moisture zones around homes, attracting moisture-loving pests. Even small amounts of moisture near foundations can support millipede populations and attract predatory centipedes indoors.

Store-bought sprays only kill creepy-crawlies on contact and provide no long-term solution to frequent infestations. Only by reducing their exterior habitat, managing moisture, and maintaining perimeter protection can homeowners avoid centipedes and millipedes once the warm weather arrives.
