Millipede Control
Appearance: Common North American species are brownish, one to 1 - 1/2 inches long; segmented, with 2 pairs of legs per segment.
Diet: Damp and decaying wood and plant matter.
Reproduction: Eggs are deposited in the soil; most species reach sexual maturity in the second year, and live several years after that.
There are occasions when thousands of millipedes will populate an area, sometimes carpeting the ground and side of buildings with their bodies.
