Millipedes – Control These Little Critters
Millipedes (Parasulus venustus) and other species, there are many; all have 2 pairs of legs on each body segment. A few years ago in the late spring they become so numerous in the mid west so as to create headlines in the papers and head aches for scientist like me. To this day we are not certain what caused the phenomena.
They are occasionally building invaders though its unlikely they multiply in the indoors. If you have a problem with them consider modifying your landscape. They are organic feeders and are especially faun of moist decaying leaves and mulch that is piled to deep against the foundation. Mulch reduces weeds improving soil and benefits plants but too much to close may create millipede and insect problems for your home.
