Centipede & Millipede Control in Georgia

About Centipede & Millipede Control in Georgia

Georgia's humid climate and regular heavy rainfall keep both house centipedes and millipedes around in healthy numbers, though the two show up in very different ways. House centipedes stick to damp basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces, and while their quick movement and long legs put a lot of homeowners on edge, they're actually beneficial predators rather than a pest that causes any real damage.

Millipedes cause more disruption in practice. When heavy rain, which happens regularly given the state's climate, saturates the soil, it can push large numbers of millipedes out of mulch beds and leaf litter toward whatever dry ground is closest, sometimes a home's foundation, resulting in a mass movement that can put dozens or more of them on a porch or driveway all at once. Neither insect bites or damages a structure, but it's the sheer number involved in one of these millipede migration events that usually triggers a call, and Georgia's rainfall patterns mean that kind of event is a recurring seasonal possibility rather than a rare occurrence.

Licensing in Georgia for Centipede & Millipede Control

Centipede & Millipede Control falls under Georgia's Structural Pest Control Act, administered by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, which sets up three separate credential types. Any business performing pest control for hire must hold a Company License with a Designated Certified Operator for each service category it offers, since categories including general pest control, termite work, fumigation, and wood destroying organism inspections are licensed individually rather than under one blanket credential. Every technician who performs or sells pest control work must also hold a Registered Employee card, and credentials are not prorated, all expiring on June 30 of odd numbered years. Wildlife-adjacent services such as Bat Removal and Raccoon Removal fall outside this system entirely, addressed instead through a separate Georgia Department of Natural Resources permit. For the full explanation of how that licensing works, see our Georgia coverage page.
