Jackson, Mississippi Millipede Control

As arthropods, millipedes prefer being in wet and damp environments in wood and plants. Despite having up to 400 legs, millipedes are still considered slow creatures.

• At its most severe, millipedes can cause keratitis if poison reaches the eyes.
• Millipedes have rounded heads with large mandibles.
• Millipedes moisten their food with saliva before consuming.
• Male millipedes insert packets of sperm into the female who then feeds it to her eggs before they hatch.
• At its most severe, millipedes can cause keratitis if poison reaches the eyes.

The removal of damp areas with plants is the best way to avoid having millipedes around. Rocks located in moist areas can serve as a location for millipedes to congregate. Got millipedes crawling around? Call a professional exterminator to have it fixed.
