Millipede Control

Effective Strategies for Managing Millipede Infestations

Why are Millipedes a Problem?

Millipedes are typically harmless creatures that play an important role in breaking down decaying plant matter in the environment. However, millipedes can become a problem as well. They enter homes in search of moisture and shelter, especially during rainy or humid weather. Millipedes can release a foul-smelling and irritating fluid that can stain surfaces and produce an unpleasant odor. Some millipede species can feed on plant roots and damage crops.
