    Millipede Pest Control Melbourne

    The black Portuguese millipede is an invasive pest that was accidentally introduced into Australia. It’s been able to flourish here due to a lack of natural predators. They are particularly offensive due to the pungent odour they produce when threatened. They can also leave stains on clothes, carpets, and furniture.

    Millipedes love moist conditions and will feed on decomposing plant material. They’re particularly prevalent in gardens with an abundance of mulch and leaf litter. As homeowners, we have a tendency to install garden beds close to our homes. As a result, it’s not uncommon to see them close to and even within our homes in Melbourne.

    It is a nocturnal insect that is attracted to external lighting. This is why it’s likely you’ll see them on external walls and roofline eaves where lights are located. During periods of hot weather, they will remain buried in the soil. They will be most active in the cooler months of Autumn and Winter.

    MILLIPEDE PREVENTION TIPS

    • Keep the perimeter of your home free of garden beds if possible;
    • If not possible then use stones instead of bark or mulch;
    • Keep watering to a minimum to reduce moisture levels;
    • Seal gaps around doors, windows and where pipes penetrate walls to prevent entry into the house;
    • If your house has weep holes then install weep hole covers;
    • Install external sensor lights so they only activate after detecting movement;
    • Close window blinds & shutters at night so little to no light is detectable from outside the home.
