THE SIGNS OF MILLIPEDES

Centipedes and millipedes do not damage homes, furniture, food, or clothes. They prefer the outdoors. Millipedes eat moist decaying vegetation and centipedes eat insects, spiders, and millipedes. Heavy rains or cold weather can drive them into your basement or kitchen. 

THE RISKS OF MILLIPEDES

Centipedes can bite, but for the most part, these creatures are simply an annoyance.

Allergic Reactions

Some species of millipedes have glands which produce irritating fluid that can cause allergic reactions in some people.

Defensive Sprays

Some millipedes have defensive sprays which contain hydrochloric acis that can affect the skin by burning and/or discoloring it.
