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:

External Barrier Spray

● Application of long-lasting insecticide barrier to entry points, walls, garden beds, and
external paving
● Stops millipedes before they enter indoor spaces

Internal Surface & Void Dusting

● Use of low-toxicity insecticidal dusts in roof voids, wall cavities, and skirting boards
(where needed)
● Targets areas where millipedes hide during the day

Moisture Control & Exclusion

● Identification of high-moisture zones encouraging infestations
● Advice on sealing cracks, vents, doors, and gaps

Ongoing Maintenance (Optional)

● Regular monitoring and seasonal reapplications for properties in high-risk or
bushland-adjacent zones

Where We Commonly Treat Millipedes in Melbourne

● Subfloor and crawl space areas
● External walls and weep holes
● Window and door perimeters
● Garages, basements, and storerooms
● Gardens, retaining walls, mulch beds, and rock edging

Frequently Asked Questions – Millipedes

Are millipedes dangerous to humans or pets?

No. Millipedes don’t bite or sting and are not toxic, but their defensive fluid can irritate skin and stain fabrics or surfaces.

Why are there so many millipedes in my house?

Millipedes migrate during cool, wet seasons. They often enter homes at night, drawn by internal light and warmth.

Can I get rid of millipedes without chemicals?

Minor infestations may be controlled by sealing gaps, turning off outdoor lights, and reducing moisture. For larger invasions, professional treatment is recommended.

Is your treatment safe for pets and children?

Yes. We use industry-approved, low-toxicity products and apply them responsibly to ensure safe
re-entry.

How long will the treatment last?

Barrier treatments can remain effective for 2–3 months depending on rainfall, surface type, and location. Seasonal reapplication is recommended in high-risk zones.
