We stop mass invasions at the perimeter barrier and pair it with practical moisture, mulch, and sealing steps—because rain migrations are regional and the goal is to keep them out of your living space, not to sterilise the whole garden. Your written quote and agreement always prevail.
National guarantees hub · Millipede guarantee summary · Super 15 (includes millipedes)
Educational guides: Garden / black millipede — damp mulch and foundation ecology, curling defence, benzoquinone chemistry vs centipedes (nuisance, not structural damage). Shongololo / giant African millipede — decomposer role, full-body sensing, myths vs harmless giants (still barrier logic for mass small migrants).
We map active trails, threshold gaps, foundation planting, downpipes, and damp pockets that funnel millipedes toward doors and weep holes.
Residual placement follows the quoted band—typically foundation edges, patio thresholds, garage gaps, and other named vectors—rather than indoor broadcast unless your agreement specifies it.
Pulling organic mulch back from the wall, fixing over-irrigation, and improving surface drainage reduce the habitat that keeps millipedes stacked against the building.
Door sweeps, weather strips, and obvious wall penetrations close the gaps that let thousands through during a single migration night.
Exceptional regional rain events can still produce outdoor numbers. Warranty language focuses on eligible resurgence on the programme footprint—not zero millipedes across the property forever.
After repeated storms or incomplete sealing, reinforcement may be scheduled—per contract, not assumed from this summary.
Standard agreed millipede perimeter programme: six months written guarantee on the quoted barrier footprint—typically treated foundation band, door thresholds, and named entry vectors—when sold as such. We do not promise zero millipedes across the whole garden or region after every heavy rain: mass migrations are ecological; warranty covers eligible resurgence of structure-invading activity on the programme zones during the window. Cooperation on drainage, mulch setback from walls, and sealing gaps may be listed for warranty eligibility. Callbacks under guarantee are free within eligible scope. Commercial may differ—your paperwork prevails. Full wording: millipede guarantees.
Untreated adjoining plots, retained mulch against walls, or refused sealing can undermine barriers. Cover follows the zones named in your paperwork.
Follow technician re-entry and pet-off guidance until products are dry. General expectations: pest control safety.
Regional migrations can still occur outdoors. Your programme covers the quoted barrier footprint and structure entry vectors—not every millipede in the neighbourhood. Reinforcement visits follow your contract.
Often yes. Mulch and compost against walls hold moisture and harbourage. Your agreement may list cooperation items that affect warranty eligibility.

Barrier work is outside at the perimeter. Keep pets off treated areas until dry and follow technician re-entry guidance.
We quote treated perimeter bands, thresholds, and moisture steps when included.
