Remember to check door sweeps in that area they may have become worn or are
fitting poorly. JTV

Lynsey,
Millipedes sometimes have irregular "migrations" where they can enter buildings
in large numbers. I'm not sure if we understand why. Try correcting any damp
situations outside (e.g., mulch or leaf litter next to the building), seal
cracks, and, if possible, keep an 18- to 36-inch vegetation-free zone around
the building.

Hi there,
One of the properties we manage is experiencing a problem with what appear to
be millipedes - please see first image attached. I'm not sure that they are
considered a museum pest, but believe that they are an indication of damp
(which we're already aware of). Can anyone provide any other advice on why we
may be seeing a sudden influx of these?
Additionally, another insect has been spotted that we can't identify (second
image). Does anyone recognise this?
Many thanks,
Lynsey
