Insecticide For Millipedes
Millipedes are a common pest in most parts of the country. They are attracted to cool moist areas around houses, so they are frequently found in large numbers under mulch, pine straw, and leaves. They may crawl indoors in stress periods of hot, dry weather, seeking a moist and a more favorable environment. At times they can move indoors in large numbers and create a major nuisance. They don’t bite or carry disease but when populations are high they can be difficult to eliminate.
Identify Millipedes
Millipedes are oval, 1-1/2 inches long, segmented with many legs, coiling up when resting or dead.
Every millipede has two pairs of legs attached to each apparent body segment. Most millipedes are brown or black, but some species are orange or red.
Their diet consists of damp and decaying wood and plant materials. They may invade the house during too wet seasons.
- Millipedes are found outdoors in situations where moisture and decaying organic matter, such as under trash, grass clippings, mulch, rotting firewood, leaf litter, etc.
- Their diet consists of damp and decaying wood and plant materials. They scavenge, feeding on decaying organic matter.
- They invade the house during extremely wet seasons or extreme drought.
- Millipedes usually die within a few days of entering a structure unless there is a source of high moisture and a food supply.
- Millipedes are active at night.
How to Get Rid Of Millipedes
Chemical Measures
Liquid Insecticides
- Avesta CS, Onslaught Insecticide, Cyper WSP works well, sprayed 3 feet out, along the foundation, and 3 ft. up the exterior wall and sprayed around the entry points, like doors and windows. Avesta CS or Onslaught Insecticide do not leave a visible residue. Cyper WSP, as a wettable powder, leaves a visible residue that is noticeable against darker surfaces.
- Repeat treatments of these suggested liquid residual insecticides every 3 months or as needed.
Insecticides Granulars
Bifen LP Granules can be applied to mulched flower beds and heavily thatched turf areas where millipedes may be living. Be sure to treat these areas during periods when millipedes are found inside the home in large numbers.
Repeated applications may be necessary to maintain control during periods of heavy millipede migration.
The Bifen LP granules would be an additional treatment around the house to serve as a barrier. The advantage of granule treatments in addition to liquid residual barriers is that they hold up under rainfall—repeat treatments of granules every three months.
Aerosols-Spot Treatments
For spot treatments: Use PT 211L, sprayed around doors and windows and other places where these pests may enter premises is another choice to spray in the smallest of cracks and crevices because it has a crack crevice tip. Repeat treatment of this aerosol once a month.
Insecticide For Millipedes
Millipedes are a common pest in the home, and they can be difficult to get rid of. They feed on decaying organic matter, so they’re often found in damp areas such as basements or garages.
Millipedes can also enter homes through cracks around doors and windows.
Millipedes usually live outside, but if you spot them indoors, it’s likely that they have made their way into your home from the outdoors.
They are most active during the spring and fall when temperatures are warmest.
