Desert millipedes and centipedes stay hidden through Bullhead City's brutal summer heat, then surface together once monsoon rain finally arrives.
Call (844) 924-1337Bullhead City's summer heat regularly tops 110 degrees, so when monsoon storms finally roll across the Colorado River from the Laughlin casinos, the shift is dramatic enough that both pests react almost immediately. Heavy bodied and reddish brown, the local desert millipede common across every stretch of Arizona spends most of the year out of sight below ground and only climbs to the surface once that monsoon rain works the soil soft, at which point it turns up on patios, drives, and roads until the ground dries out again and sends it back below. Arizona giant centipedes follow a comparable rhythm, staying hidden in cool, moist spots through the driest, hottest weeks of summer before the humid run from July through September makes them far easier to spot, when both the extra humidity and more insects to hunt pull them out after sunset.
Millipedes and centipedes are not treated the same way once they're found, even though people tend to lump them together: a millipede's defense is nothing worse than an unpleasant smelling secretion, while a centipede's bite is genuinely painful, a distinction that matters given how many visitors pass through for Lake Mohave boating season without knowing which pest they're looking at. That shared monsoon trigger keeps service calls for both pests bunched into a short window each summer instead of spreading out steadily across the calendar.
