Centipede and millipede activity in Chandler clusters tightly into a few weeks each summer, tied directly to the monsoon.
Call (844) 924-1337Chandler grew from a planned agricultural town founded by Dr. A.J. Chandler into the East Valley's tech hub, home today to Intel's Ocotillo semiconductor campus, but the ground underneath all that development still follows the same seasonal rhythm it always has. Reddish brown and notably large for the species, this millipede ranges across the entire state and spends the bulk of the year hidden below ground, coming up in noticeable numbers only once summer downpours have worked the soil soft, at which point it's common to see them on patios, driveways, and sidewalks until drier weather pulls them back under. Arizona giant centipedes run on a comparable clock: they hole up in dark, damp cover through the hottest stretch, then turn up much more once the humid run from July into September sets in, drawn out after dark by rising humidity and easier hunting.
People often lump the two pests together, but they're handled very differently once found: a millipede only lets out a strong smelling fluid in self defense, while a centipede delivers a genuinely painful bite. Because both react to that same monsoon cue, service calls for either pest tend to pile up in a narrow summer stretch rather than spreading out steadily.
