That's the fourth Portuguese Millipede I've found in and around the house.

drhoz - anything I can do about these buggers?

Wow! I hadn't heard of that before!

Apparently four is okay--four thousand will make a mess of your garden.

Could always try a light trap....if they really bother you?

They don't really bother me yet, but if their numbers get to the levels I've heard they are in the hills then they'll certainly bother me.

goddamnit - they're in Scarborough now? I've watched them spreading down from the hills over the last few years, and am unhappy they're now that far west :( As to what to do about them? Fuck all you can do - coopex powder along the door runners should keep them out of the house, anyway.

I was about to ask if Coopex is safe around pets, but I'm guessing it is, seeing as we used it on traps to keep ants away when trapping marsupials.
