Millipede looking thing? Help.

[christopherwilliams2]

I have had an invasion of these things in my yard and they sneak into my home. I can't stand them.
Does anyone know what to do to get rid of them from the yard? I checked for a nest but didn't find one. They seem to come out of the ground or something. Can I treat my grass or something. I usually have my yard clean and grass low but there are empty lots next to where I live.

Anyone dealt with these before?
Thanks.

They are harmless. just sweep them out or collect them in a bottle.

[Advent]

see them all the time, dont squash them they dont smell good lol

[timelapse]

What kinda trini you is?
Thats a congoree. Have you or a neighbour brought home manure lately? Or new house plants?
They are usually attracted to that.They are harmless.If you sweep them with a soft broom, they curl up in a ball and you can sweep them outside.OR, spray around your yard with diazanon

[Les Bain]

Diazanon, OP. I think it holds for 2 weeks and it keeps them yard critters away.
But congoree eh that bad, unless there's truth to the talk they could crawl into yuh ears when you sleeping

Put 7 powder around your house. Not sure what is the real name of product.
They harmless, smell stink when you crush them. Usually i let them walk on a piece of paper. Then lift up and shake it off outside.

7 powder!!!!!

It's called Sevin Powder or Sevin Dust

Carbaryl (1-naphthyl methylcarbamate) is a chemical in the carbamate family used chiefly as an insecticide. It is a white crystalline solid commonly sold under the brand name Sevin, a trademark of the Bayer Company.- wikipedia

I don't know the correct name, that what granny tell me to ask for in the shop. It used to come in a clear bag, no label.
it kill everything though. Some ppl it causes to skin to peel on foot when you walk on it.

they are harmless unless they feel extreemly threatened in which case they release a orange liquid that is slightly irritatiing, but harmless to humans...just chook it...it will roll into a ball and you can just sweep it into something and put it outside without u damaging the legs...but theyre harmless...i just leave them alone.

My nephew put one of this in his mouth once . He's still alive

[j.o.e]

Lol

[aka]

mmm, they add a real nice flavor to stew chicken. *licks lips*

[IdleMind2504]

get some fowl

[christopherwilliams2]

Yes, I have been just brushing them away or crushing under shoe. I know they aren't really harmful but they just have that ewww look. I know the powder may work too but I have kids on the outside regularly so that's maybe a last resort. Bess I really invite some chicken.

[bluesclues]

steeeeuuppssss
boy that is called a congorie. just leave it alone. if u pick it up it will poop. if u squish it it becomes poop. to get rid of them ull have to sevin powder ur whole house.

[stev]

8 powder works well...

if u can't stand the smell then better to use 6 powder...

[TrEnD$eTt@]

had the same problem some years ago, they can be very irritating especially when they get inside the house, tried all those stuff above an got very little relief, however i got a little bit of liquid less than 1/8 chubby bottle from the commercial pest control guy think it was terminx sprayed that around the edge of the house and havent seen them since. just ask one of the pest control guys that come to spray at your work place they can help.

[Spitfir3]

r.i.p op

[axe]

sevin powder is very poisonous...people have been known to bathe pets with it to kill fleas and poisoned their pets. I wouldnt use it if kids and pets around. Any soil insecticide with residual effect can keep away those millipedes.....or just spray diesel in the soil around your house...

Excellent, this is more what I was looking for. I'll try it.

[zaria]

I know that as a millipede.
Congoree as I know it different.small abt 1 to 1.5 cm
If I remember correctly grey to black dull color.
Smell stinky when you crush them.
And I remember my parents told me they crawl into your ear.
Had me really scared in my young days..

If your property is insured, you can just burn it down entirely. No home, no problem
