Morningside pest control FAQ

Why do I get so many millipedes in my basement?

Millipedes live in damp leaf litter and move in after heavy rain. Reducing moisture and sealing door gaps helps. See moisture pests.

Can ticks be controlled in a creekside yard?

They can be reduced with edge management, leaf-litter control and targeted treatments. See tick control.

Do creekside homes need mosquito treatment every year?

Weekly source reduction every season matters most. Treatments are optional extras that help in heavily shaded yards close to the creek corridor.
