Millipedes are long, thin insects, between 4mm and 30mm (1/8" and 1") long. Their bodies are dark brown or black in colour, and when disturbed, they curl in on themselves, forming a protective ball. Millipedes prefer to make their homes in areas of high moisture around the exterior of a building, and lay their eggs either in the soil or in deposits of decaying organic matter.

The control and treatment of a millipede infestation is usually an exterior process, performed just outside the home at the perimeter soil line, up the walls, and along the door frames.
