You are probably familiar with the millipedes, or at least their name. But how much do you actually know about them? Not a lot? That’s okay, their name is a bit misleading, and they don’t necessarily rank high on the home-invading pest list that people worry about. However, that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be considered. Here are a few facts to get you started with this pest:
Most people don’t think about millipedes until they become a problem. Whether you have a current millipede problem or not, you should keep reading to understand how this pest can affect your Plano property and what to do about them.
For the most part, millipedes are nuisance pests and pose no real threat to people, pets, or property because they don’t bite and are not known to transmit diseases. But skin contact can cause a minor rash for those that are allergic. They can also stain flooring, walls, and fabrics if crushed, but still, this is not nearly as bad as other pest infestations.
As millipedes have a vegetarian diet, they are actually helpful to the environment as decomposers. By breaking down dead plants, leaves, and other vegetation, they help to keep soil healthy, returning necessary nutrients to the ground.
Although millipedes are not directly dangerous to people, their presence can be a sign of an underlying moisture issue that should be addressed as high moisture on a property is an attractive factor for many pests.
As stated, millipedes in a home can be a sign of a moisture problem. Fixing moisture issues is one of several tips that can help you prevent millipedes from infesting your home. Other tips include:
