Millipede & Centipede Control in Land O Lakes, FL

Millipede & Centipede Control built for Land O Lakes homes

Land O Lakes sits on a patchwork of poorly and very poorly drained sands and mucky wetland soils that stay damp around lakes and swamps, exactly the kind of ground millipedes depend on. The slash pine, longleaf pine and cypress forest along Cypress Creek generates steady leaf litter, giving millipedes the decaying organic matter they feed on throughout the year. Rain totals run roughly 54 inches annually, concentrated heavily from June through September, and that wet stretch is when millipedes most often work through foundation gaps, weep holes and garage thresholds in search of drier shelter. Occasional winter freezes can nudge them indoors for brief spells without ending activity altogether. Because soil moisture recharges with each rainy season, a continuing program is what prevents millipede pressure from climbing again once conditions reset.
