	Millipedes, Millipede Pest Control
		Millipedes are found outdoors in situations where there is moisture and decaying organic matter, such as under trash, grass clippings, mulch, rotting firewood, leaf litter, etc.
		Millipedes usually die within a few days of entering a structure unless there is a source of high moisture and a food supply.
		Millipede control begins outdoors by removing harbor aging places that hold moisture, such as wood debris, rocks, grass clippings, and leaf litter.
