Quick answer: Millipede invasions are best solved by reducing outdoor moisture and mulch against the foundation, since millipedes rarely establish indoors and are usually just wandering in.
Millipedes live outdoors in mulch, leaf litter, and damp soil, and typically wander indoors — often in large numbers after heavy rain — rather than establishing an indoor colony. They’re harmless but unwelcome in large numbers.
Millipede invasions are usually a sign of excess moisture or organic debris right up against the foundation, and dealing with the entry conditions matters as much as treating the pests themselves.
We treat the perimeter and identify moisture or mulch conditions drawing millipedes toward the foundation, then seal the gaps they’re using to get inside.

No, millipedes don't bite, sting, or cause structural damage — they're a nuisance pest that wanders indoors, usually after rain.
Heavy rain often drives large numbers indoors at once as they escape saturated soil, especially if mulch sits close to the foundation.
Millipedes rarely reproduce indoors since conditions aren't suitable — most indoor sightings are wandering individuals.
