We have millipedes in our house, in our pool and was wondering if there was anything that we could do to discourage them?

    Millipedes like moist, decaying plant matter. Seal any cracks around your house and move mulch piles away and you'll go far toward reducing their number.

    Look for rotted trees, they need to be cut down.. Millipedes seem to happen once every couple of years. We did use the barrier poison to keep them out. It was terrible.. they totally invaded our basement.
