Millipedes, belonging to the class Diplopoda, are characterized by their elongated bodies and numerous legs, typically ranging from 1 to 4 inches in length. They are usually brown or black and have a segmented appearance. Millipedes are primarily detritivores, feeding on decaying plant material, which makes them beneficial for soil health. They are nocturnal and prefer moist environments, often hiding under rocks, logs, or leaf litter during the day.
While millipedes are generally harmless to humans, their presence can be alarming due to their size and numerous legs. They can occasionally invade homes, especially during wet conditions, but they do not pose any significant threat.
Our approach focuses on both immediate treatment and long-term prevention to keep your home free from millipedes.
