What does it mean to have millipedes in the house? What are the best ways to eliminate them?

The millipede, also known as Malu, is a common arthropod in mountains, under stones and under rotten tree roots. it looks like a centipede and sometimes climbs to home. What does a millipede at home mean? What are the best ways to eliminate it?

1. Introduction of millipedes:

1. Is millipede poisonous?

Millipedes are not poisonous. Although the millipede has a non-toxic jaw, it has stinky glands on the body, which can secrete a poisonous smelly liquid, which smells bad, so that poultry and birds do not dare to peck it, and humans eating Malu by mistake will lead to allergic edema of lips and so on. Some millipedes can emit pungent-smelling liquids, and the liquid from Malagasy scarlet horse land in the tropical rainforest can make people blind for a moment.

2. How many legs does a millipede have?

Millipedes usually have more than 660 legs, and a new type of centipede has been found in the Altai Biological Reserve in Altai, Russia. This centipede is characterized by multiple feet and can even have as many as 750 legs.

Second, what does it mean to have a millipede at home?

Having millipedes at home means it's too damp at home, because millipedes like wet places. They live under leaves, stones, rotten roots and the bottom of our house. Millipedes do not bite, but if you touch and fiddle with it, you can secrete toxins that can cause local irritation, serious ones can cause obvious erythema, herpes and necrosis. Some non-native millipedes emit an unpleasant, irritating secretion that can cause a severe conjunctival reaction. If you accidentally encounter the secretions of millipedes, you can wash them with a lot of soapy water.

Third, what are the best ways to eliminate millipedes?

It should not be very difficult to kill Malu. First of all, this kind of bug likes the dark and humid environment, so it is necessary to change the environment where the insect source occurs and solve this problem fundamentally. Secondly, quicklime can also be used to spread in the outdoor stagnant water (studies have shown that quicklime can effectively kill Malu). And this kind of bug has the habit of living in groups, so if you want to kill it, you have to kill it thoroughly. As for the Malu at home, you can use the sanitary pesticides sold on the market, close the doors and windows after spraying a certain amount, and then open the windows for ventilation after a period of time.

The key to dealing with Malu is to reduce or remove the wet areas where Malu may live.

1. Environmental prevention and control methods

(1) remove and prune weeds and reduce lawn and soil surface humidity.

(2) cleaning up such as accumulated leaves, dead branches and rocks to effectively reduce the favorable areas for the survival and activities of the horse land.

(3) watering in the morning can make the water lose as soon as possible during the day. In addition, during the construction of the project, a water pipeline system can be established under the lawn to control soil moisture.

(4) minimize stagnant water indoors and keep it ventilated and dry.

2. Chemical control methods.

The main results are as follows: (1) residual spraying is used to kill adults at the entrances and exits of safe passages in the park.

(2) the outer green belt should be treated with poisonous soil and sprinkled evenly in the green belt, preferably before raining. If the weather is dry, appropriate amount of water can be sprinkled after sprinkling.

(3) Deltamethrin can be used to spray the outer lawn.

(4) spreading quicklime on the periphery of the building wall to change the breeding environment of insect pests.

At present, Malu invades human beings in many ways, which needs to be prevented and prevented. There are a large number of Malu gathering areas outdoors, when the area is large, sanitary insecticides can be directly used for residual spraying, and quicklime can be applied for prevention and control when the area is small.

Generally speaking, having millipedes at home means that the house is too damp. If you find that it is necessary to clean up the accumulated stones, leaves, prune weeds, or spray pesticides, quicklime and other prevention and control.
