What is a Millipede?

Millipedes are long, segmented arthropods with two pairs of legs per body segment. They are usually black or brown and curl into a spiral when disturbed. Millipedes are not insects but belong to the class Diplopoda. They live in moist environments and feed on decaying organic matter.

Why Millipedes Come Indoors?

Millipedes generally live outdoors in damp soil, mulch, and under stones or wood. However, they may enter homes and buildings due to:

1. Excess moisture or dampness inside the home.

2. Heavy rainfall or change in weather.

3. Seeking shelter during hot or dry conditions.

4. Cracks and gaps in walls, floors, and doors.

How Millipedes Harm Humans

Millipedes do not bite or sting humans, but they can be a nuisance:

When disturbed, they release a foul-smelling fluid that can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.

Their presence in large numbers indoors can cause psychological discomfort.

The fluid may also stain walls, floors, or clothes.
