Hello all, We've recently seen an uptick in greenhouse millipedes at my institution. >From what I understand, they mostly eat decaying plant material and are moisture indicators. Has anyone had issues with millipedes damaging collection material? We haven't found any evidence of damage, but we've seen enough of them that I want to be sure they aren't a threat.
Besides increased vacuuming, door sweeps, and eliminating moisture sources, has anyone heard of other strategies for getting rid of millipedes that have been successful? Thank you!
