Millipedes Narceus americanus & lawn species
After heavy summer rain, Florida millipedes migrate by the hundreds — and a fraction of every migration dead-ends against your foundation and slips under the door. They can’t survive indoor dryness; the curled ones on the tile were dead the moment they came in.
Signs you have them
- Coiled brown curls along baseboards and the garage floor after rain
- Lines of them on the driveway or patio at dawn
- Musty smell when crushed
What you can do today, free
- Sweep them up — they’re already dying indoors
- Rake soggy leaf litter and thatch away from the slab
- Water the lawn in the morning so the surface dries by night
Questions, answered straight
Why hundreds all at once?
Rain floods their soil habitat and triggers mass movement. A perimeter barrier treatment before the summer rains, part of the Pest Plan, intercepts the migration at the slab.
