General Info
  • Millipedes have hard shells and will scavenge just about anything for food
  • Millipedes do not bite or damage furnishings, the home, or food
Where They Hide
  • They are usually associated with damp, dark places such as under stones, flowerpots, boards, or similar debris where there is abundant moisture
  • Indoors they may be found in basements, closets, and bathrooms where there is usually high humidity
What They Want From You
  • Millipedes will come inside seeking shelter during hot and cold weather
  • Millipedes like moisture and feed on decaying vegetable matter as well as on new roots and green leaves
Tips For Limiting Entry and Avoiding Future Problems
  • Keep compost piles and decaying vegetation away from the house
  • Caulk windows and holes to prevent entry
  • If you notice millipedes in your basement, try running a dehumidifier to make the area less humid, and therefore less appealing
