Millipedes (Oxidus gracilis) have a distinct appearance with long, segmented bodies that are typically brown or black in color. They have multiple pairs of legs, with each segment containing two pairs. The number of legs can vary from around 30 to over 300, depending on the species. They range in size from a few millimeters to several inches in length.
Millipedes are generally not dangerous to humans or pets. They do not bite or sting and are not known to carry diseases.
If you notice large numbers of millipedes in or around your home, particularly during periods of high humidity or rainfall, it’s likely that you have an infestation. Millipedes can enter homes through cracks and gaps in the foundation or walls. You may also see their excrement, which looks like small, dark pellets.
Millipedes are attracted to moist environments, such as areas with high humidity, standing water, or damp soil. They feed on decaying plant matter and may be found in gardens or areas with large amounts of organic debris. They may also be attracted to the warmth and shelter of homes, particularly during the fall and winter months.
