Black milipede invasion !!

[Caz1971]

Got them all over our front porch, in the house. We kill at least ten a day in the house!

DH has tried ant powder, surface spray (for milipedes). It killed some but then last night more came out.

Has anyone had an infestation? Any tips? We tried the mozzie zapper but didnt work, I know they like light so it drove them to it.

How long do they last. We must have 100s!

Ohhh! I have them too!! i was in the toilet last night and there was atleast 10 along the tiles behind the door *shudders*

Its all this rain, its brought in so many bugs and spiders

LMS your spiders will eat them. We got pest control done a few months back, so no spiders here.

I cant stand these millipedes any longer!!!

Ewwww! We haven't got them (yet) but are still battling the pantry moth invasion!

We have the tiny little black ants. Our backyard is still a soggy mess so they have decided to move inside. I hate spraying chemicals so I have been spraying white vinigar everywhere. Seems to be working a bit. Maybe it might work for the milipedes. Otherwise my only other suggestion is to get the whole house sprayed again.

We have them here too. We've had heaps of rain that brings them all out. They love wet mulchy stuff. So if you can keep stuff around your house dry they won't come in such masses. A bit hard though when it rains forever!

Talon works to keep them out of areas you dont wont them in, it doesnt kill them, they just wont crawl on it. Talon is a reptile/frog product and your best bet is herp shop. they mail out.

EDIT.... FLUON NOT TALON!
silly pregnant brain lol

We used to have them every March where we lived years ago and were told to sprinkle talc powder on the door steps as they won't crawl over it.

They usually only last a couple weeks
