How to Tell Centipedes from Millipedes
Centipedes and millipedes have long, segmented bodies, but their legs and behavior distinguish them. Neither pest carries diseases that affect people, animals, or plants.
How to Identify Centipedes
Centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment and typically move quickly. Their modified front legs function as venom-injecting claws used to capture prey. Because centipedes hunt insects, effective management also considers the prey available around a property.
The Texas redheaded centipede occurs in this part of Texas and can reach up to 8 inches long. It can inflict a painful bite, so a large centipede shouldn’t be picked up or handled.
How to Identify Millipedes
Millipedes have two pairs of legs per body segment and generally move more slowly than centipedes. They’re harmless to people, although they can release an unpleasant odor when handled. Some species found in this region, including the North American millipede, are adapted to clay soils and limestone terrain.
Why Centipedes & Millipedes Gather Around Seguin Homes
Both pests are most active at night and favor moist, protected habitats. Centipedes commonly shelter beneath bark, stones, leaves, and rotted logs. Millipedes also depend heavily on damp places where they can rest and remain concealed.
Moisture near the foundation can make the surrounding area favorable to these pests. Mulch, leaf litter, and firewood provide additional cover close to potential entry points. Moisture combined with protected shelter may lead to recurring sightings around door thresholds, foundation gaps, and other openings.

What to Expect from Centipede & Millipede Control
Our general home pest service begins with an inspection of the property perimeter and interior. We examine plumbing areas, attics, and other relevant spaces for pest activity and possible entry points. These findings guide the treatment for the property.
For centipedes, we assess active pests, entry points, and the insect prey they hunt. For millipedes, we focus on moisture and shelter around the structure. We can seal identified entry points when necessary.
Our initial general home pest treatment includes:
- A perimeter liquid barrier around the home
- Treatment in the attic
- Treatment along interior baseboards
Follow-up visits are exterior-only unless interior treatment is requested.
Reducing Moisture, Shelter & Entry Routes
Reduce damp organic debris and protected cover near the foundation while limiting the routes centipedes and millipedes can use to enter.
Practical steps around the property include:
- Relocate hiding sites: Move compost piles, firewood, and loose stones away from the structure.
- Clear organic debris: Remove damp leaves, decaying wood, and excess mulch beside the foundation.
- Create separation: Install a gravel band between the foundation and flower beds that touch the structure.
- Watch damp areas: Check for persistent moisture and protected shelter close to potential entry routes.
