Homeowner Guide to Centipedes and Millipedes

CIS1170

January 30, 2022

Centipedes and millipedes are many-legged relatives of insects that thrive in damp, dark yard and garden habitats. Sometimes they accidentally wander into homes, creating minor concern as a pest. This revised publication helps you identify these species; understand their biology and feeding habits; and decide whether or not they are creating enough of a nuisance to require control action.

Authors: Edward John Bechinski, Frank W. Merickel, Brad Stokes
