Oxnard, California Millipede Control

Preferring wet and damp environments in wood and plants, these arthropods are millipedes. Though they can have up to 400 legs, millipedes are considered slow creatures.

• Male millipedes insert packets of sperm into the female who then feeds it to her eggs before they hatch.
• Millipedes moisten their food with saliva before consuming.
• Some species of millipedes emit poisonous liquid secretions when attacked.
• Some of the oldest species to live on land were the ancestors of millipedes.
• Male millipedes insert packets of sperm into the female who then feeds it to her eggs before they hatch.

To avoid millipedes, remove damp areas with plants in and around them. Millipedes are able to congregate in the area under rocks in moist areas. An exterminator can professionally eradicate millipedes in your home or workplace.
