Millipedes

Millipedes are a more uncommon creepy-crawler, but can leave many homeowners feeling uneasy when discovered on their property. Because of the many legs, they are often called ‘thousand-leggers’.Often lumped together with centipedes, these pests don’t bite or sting unlike their multi-legged neighbors and at worst, become a nuisance and can infest without proper treatment.
