HELP

Millipedes live outdoors in damp areas such as under leaves, needles and dead plant debris, or in cracks and crevices. They feed on damp and decaying vegetable matter and are beneficial as "recyclers" of organic matter. However, they become a pest when they migrate into buildings as accidental invaders. Millipedes are usually found in the garage, basement or lowest level although they may wander into other parts of the house. They are most active at night and usually hide during the day in cracks and other moist locations.

Millipedes are harmless; they do not feed upon building structures or furnishings and they can not bite or sting. Millipedes can not reproduce indoors. All millipedes found inside wandered in by mistake.

Help We Are Being Invaded By MILLIPEDES


WARNING!!!!
DO NOT LOOK AT THE NEXT PICTURE IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH












Life is grand when you live in Iowa. 
You never know what you are going to encounter next. 
Makes you feel like you are in the Indiana Jones movie doesn't it. 
No they are not in the house they are outside Kristi Dawn's bedroom window.
But we do have plenty of them sneaking into the house.
