I have a continual problem with millipedes entering my screened pool area and getting into my pool. What can be used to effectively control millipedes?
Try not to handle the millipedes–they can bite. Check your weather stripping and make sure it is tight. Sweep them out daily. You could put down diatomaceous earth (you can get this at a garden center), which is safe. When the insects come in contact with the dust, they will slowly die from dehydration. If all else fails, you can use one of the granular pesticides on the market. Check the back of the bag for instructions.
