Millipedes Control
Diplopoda
Millipedes are slow-moving arthropods with elongated, cylindrical bodies. They are detritivores, feeding on decaying plant matter.
How to Identify Millipedes
Proper identification is the first step in effective pest control. Millipedes have distinct physical characteristics and behaviors that help distinguish them from other common household pests. Look for these key identifiers:
- Cylindrical, worm-like body
- Two pairs of legs per body segment
- Curl into a tight spiral when disturbed
- Dark brown or black color
Are Millipedes Dangerous?
Millipedes do not bite, sting, or cause structural damage. Some species can secrete a foul-smelling fluid that may cause mild skin irritation if handled.
Why Do I Have Millipedes?
They require high moisture to survive. They often migrate indoors during heavy rains or prolonged droughts, seeking a more suitable environment.
How to Prevent Millipedes
While professional treatment is often necessary for an active infestation, you can take proactive steps to make your property less attractive to Millipedes:
