Millipedes are an every-other-year problem. Some years we only get a few calls about millipedes; other years, we get many. Millipedes are harmless but can be a nuisance when hundreds of them wander into your garage or home.
Millipedes are a common household pest in Wisconsin. These worm-like arthropods are 1-2 inches in length and are black in color. Despite their “thousand-legger” nickname, millipedes only have 60 to 200 legs, on average. Like centipedes, millipedes love damp and dark areas, such as mulch piles, garages, rotten wood, and basements. They are nocturnal insects that primarily feed on decaying plants and insects.
