Nuisance Arthropods
Centipedes and millipedes are two types of arthropods that are nuisances found in homes and gardens. While they may look similar at first glance, they have different behaviors and habits that set them apart. On this page, we’ll take a closer look at these creatures and how to deal with them in an eco-friendly way.
Centipedes are long, slender arthropods with many pairs of legs, with each pair attached to a single body segment. They are carnivorous and feed on insects, spiders, and other small creatures. While centipedes can be found in a variety of habitats, including forests and fields, they are often found in homes and gardens. They are attracted to moist environments and can often be found in basements, bathrooms, and other damp areas.
Millipedes are also long, thin arthropods, but they have many more legs than centipedes. While centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment, millipedes have two pairs of legs per segment, making them slower than centipedes. Millipedes are herbivorous and feed on decaying plant matter. They are often found in gardens but can also be a nuisance in the home.
