Millipede Control Services | My Pest Control Pty Ltd
At My Pest Control Pty Ltd, we provide expert millipede control solutions to help Melbourne homes and businesses stay free of unsightly infestations. While millipedes are generally harmless, their sudden invasion in large numbers can be stressful, unsanitary, and unpleasant—especially during the wetter months. We specialise in fast, effective, and family-safe millipede treatment programs backed by science and experience.
About Millipedes
Millipedes are slow-moving, cylindrical arthropods with segmented bodies and two pairs of legs per segment. The most invasive species found in Melbourne is the Portuguese Millipede (Ommatoiulus moreleti), which was accidentally introduced from Europe and has become a
major nuisance in suburban and semi-rural areas.
Why Are Millipedes a Problem?
● Invasion of Living Spaces: Often enter homes in large numbers during autumn or
after rain.
● Drawn to Moisture & Light: Attracted to artificial light, especially in the evening.
● Foul Secretion: Release a pungent, staining fluid when crushed or threatened.
● Trip Hazard: Slippery when crushed, especially on tiled or hard floors.
● Aesthetic Nuisance: Found curled up dead near doorways, windows, skirting
boards, and garages.
Our Millipede Treatment Approach
Our professional pest control technicians implement a multi-step treatment strategy tailored to your property’s structure and environment:
● Application of long-lasting insecticide barrier to entry points, walls, garden beds, and
external paving
● Stops millipedes before they enter indoor spaces
● Use of low-toxicity insecticidal dusts in roof voids, wall cavities, and skirting boards
(where needed)
● Targets areas where millipedes hide during the day
● Identification of high-moisture zones encouraging infestations
● Advice on sealing cracks, vents, doors, and gaps
● Regular monitoring and seasonal reapplications for properties in high-risk or
bushland-adjacent zones
