Centipede and Millipede Pest Control in Mumbai

Centipedes and millipedes are often found in cool, damp or sheltered places such as bathrooms, basements, utility areas, gardens and spaces around foundations. They may move indoors when outdoor conditions change or when there are easy openings into a building. Repeated sightings are a good reason to check for moisture and access points.

How to tell centipedes and millipedes apart

Centipedes are generally flatter and move quickly; some can bite if handled. Millipedes are usually slower and rounder, and may curl up or release defensive fluids when disturbed. Appearance varies by species, so avoid handling an unidentified pest. If anyone experiences a serious reaction after contact or a bite, seek medical advice.

What you can do to help prevent them

Fix leaks and address persistent dampness where possible.
Keep drains, utility areas and storage spaces clean and dry.
Clear leaf litter, plant debris and other damp shelter from around the building.
Seal gaps around doors, windows, pipes and foundations; maintain screens and door sweeps.
Keep children and pets away from pests and any treated areas until it is safe to return.

Professional inspection and treatment

Our team checks the affected areas, helps identify the pest and looks for conditions contributing to activity. Any treatment recommendations are based on the site inspection and are paired with relevant preparation, application and re-entry guidance. Reducing moisture and access can support the treatment and help limit future entry.
