I live on the ground floor in a small apt in florida. Infestations can nonetheless be understandably aggravating, and so the best one can do to reduce the number of millipedes on one’s property is to make sure they do not have access to areas on one’s property that mimic their natural habitat. They are not pests, nor are they harmful to the environment or people. To conclude, the worm that our reader is asking about is a common millipede. Although this is not a long-term solution to the issue, it may ease her mind in the moment when she wishes to relax on her porch without thinking of the millipedes. In the mean time, perhaps when our reader wishes to go out on her porch, she can sweep the millipedes gently onto the ground. Otherwise, the best one can do is wait it out until the colder seasons come and the millipedes disperse. This may decrease the number of millipedes that come onto one’s property as they are forced to find shelter elsewhere. The best one can do to prevent a millipede infestation is to rid one’s property of any damp areas where the millipedes may be residing. Not only do we not recommend using insecticides or other means of killing creatures, especially in the case of millipedes, who are not pests but beneficial to the environment, but this will not prevent more millipedes from appearing at one’s home. The solution to this infestation is not as simple as using bug spray or bleach as our reader has already tried. In fact, it might be the rocks around the reader’s property that are housing these millipedes during the day. Unfortunately, this does little to stop millipedes from coming to her property.
Additionally, our reader has pointed out that rocks have been piled around her property. This is why the millipedes are so prevalent during the night. In the case of our reader, who lives in a new housing development, millipedes will hide during the hot day, either in the crooks of door frames and windowsills, in the shade of rocks, or underneath wood. Millipedes thrive in cool, damp environments where they can feed off decaying plant matter and other organic matter.
