Hi all! My mate has a bad infestation of Black Portuguese Millipedes. He collects about 1000 of the critters daily from the inside of his house. It is only a temp house (shed, Donga) till his actual house is built. He has tried all sorts of surface sprays, powders with little results. The only thing that puts a dent in the numbers is ant powder and some water traps. The Millipede's were first found in Port Lincoln SA and have spread to pretty much the whole southern half of Australia. They stink and stain when they are squashed and have also cause train delays in Victoria. The only thing to eat them is the odd spider so they spread rapidly with they lack of preditors. This is a millipede catcher made buy a Perth local You can easily make one out of a ice cream container and a solar light. This is the best control method at the moment but its just not enough I would like to hear other peoples methods for control You South Aussies who live in the hills would have been battling these guys for some time. yeah so please post your control methods peeps
