π That black wriggling thing on your doorstep? It's a millipede. And where there's one, there's usually hundreds more.
Every autumn and winter, Portuguese millipedes invade Perth homes in huge numbers. They're attracted to light, crawl under doors, pile up on verandas, and get into garages, kitchens and living areas.
They don't bite and they're not dangerous β but:
β They curl up and release a foul-smelling secretion when disturbed
β They can stain surfaces and trigger asthma in sensitive people
β In large numbers, they're genuinely overwhelming
β Dead ones attract other pests
What actually works:
β Perimeter spray treatments to create a barrier
β Sealing gaps under doors and around the home
β Treating garden beds and mulch where they breed
Don't let them take over your home this winter.
