Why millipedes appear: Millipedes prefer damp environments and are commonly associated with gardens, mulch, vegetation and other areas that retain moisture. Under favourable conditions they can appear in large numbers and move across paths, walls and entry points; some may eventually make their way indoors. Where to look: Activity is commonly noticed around garden edges, paving, exterior walls, doorways and other protected areas close to the house. The surrounding environment can affect activity. Treating the problem: Treatment focuses on active areas and likely routes around the property. Curtley can also identify excess moisture or sheltered garden areas that may contribute.
