Centipede & Millipede Control Serving Del Rio, Eagle Pass & Surrounding Areas

Centipede & Millipede Control in Del Rio

Inspection-Led Centipede & Millipede Control for Del Rio Properties

Finding centipedes or millipedes indoors can point to conditions beyond the pests you see. Moisture, outdoor harborage, foundation gaps, worn door thresholds, and utility penetrations may contribute to repeated activity. We provide centipede and millipede control for Del Rio homes and businesses, including offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and other occupied properties.

Correct identification matters because these pests behave differently. Centipedes hunt other small insects, while millipedes primarily feed on decaying organic material. Before recommending treatment, our technicians inspect likely entry points, moisture sources, and harborage areas.

Request a pest inspection to discuss where you’re seeing activity. Call (830) 490-1566 to schedule centipede and millipede treatment.

What Centipede & Millipede Service Includes

We begin with a property inspection, not a standard application. Your technician reviews where pests have appeared, checks the foundation perimeter, and looks for moisture-prone areas or exterior conditions that may allow activity to continue.

Depending on the inspection findings, your service plan may address:

Indoor activity: Treatment may include interior baseboards and other appropriate areas where pests have been observed.
Exterior pressure: Perimeter treatment may target activity near the foundation and likely ground-level entry points.
Contributing conditions: We identify accessible gaps, moisture, clutter, and landscape material that may encourage recurring sightings.
Property requirements: We tailor residential and commercial pest control to the layout and conditions found during the inspection.

Our licensed technicians receive monthly training on pest-control products, application methods, and industry standards. We apply products according to label directions and explain any precautions people and pets should follow before or after service.

How to Tell Centipedes from Millipedes

Centipedes generally have one pair of legs per body segment and move quickly. A house centipede has a flattened body with long legs and may appear in bathrooms, utility rooms, garages, and other damp areas. Its presence may also indicate other small insects that serve as prey.

Millipedes generally have two pairs of legs per body segment, move more slowly, and may curl when disturbed. They’re commonly found near soil, vegetation, leaf litter, compost, boards, rocks, and other damp areas containing decaying organic material.

Why Activity May Keep Returning

These pests can enter through small cracks, worn door seals, foundation openings, and gaps around pipes or utilities. Outdoor populations may gather near dense vegetation, accumulated leaves, landscape materials, or damp areas beside the structure.

To make your property less inviting:

Remove leaf piles, boards, rocks, and organic clutter near the building.
Correct accessible leaks and persistent moisture problems where possible.
Replace damaged door sweeps and seal visible ground-level openings.
Trim dense vegetation and keep the foundation perimeter manageable.
Vacuum or remove individual pests found indoors.

Removing a visible pest won’t correct an outdoor source or entry route. Frequent sightings, activity in several rooms, large exterior concentrations, or recurring appearances after weather changes warrant a professional inspection.

Serving Del Rio Properties Since 1979

Gold Star Exterminators - Del Rio has served the area since 1979 and remains family-owned. That history has given us practical familiarity with the pest pressures affecting local homes and commercial properties.

Our technicians are licensed and attend monthly training. This ongoing education supports an inspection-led process in which property-specific findings guide the treatment plan, rather than store-bought sprays or a one-size-fits-all application.

We also communicate clearly throughout the visit. We explain what we find, outline the proposed work, and provide an estimate before service begins. Published customer reviews frequently describe our technicians as punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and respectful of customers’ properties.

Flexible Service, Clear Safety Instructions & Follow-Up

We treat residential and commercial properties through one-time visits or recurring monthly, bimonthly, and quarterly plans. The appropriate option depends on the conditions and level of pest pressure at your property. Our published residential service also includes a 30-day warranty.

Preparing for Treatment

Preparation and reentry instructions depend on the treatment selected and the areas where it will be applied. Your technician can explain whether people or pets need to avoid a specific location and when normal access can resume. Following these instructions and the product label is an important part of the service.

Interior & Foundation Treatment

When appropriate, your plan can address activity inside the structure and around the foundation perimeter. Treating only the interior may leave outdoor harborage or entry conditions unresolved, so we determine the scope from the inspection findings.
