Does anyone know how to MURDER millipedes? 🐛🔥
Yes, so I despise any moving thing in my plants. Bonide apparently doesn’t work for them and neither does Natria. I have a couple dead ones and a bunch of little newborns in the bottom of my cache pot. There were also a couple of empty translucent “beads” which I thought were fertilizer beads back in January 🥸
Does anyone have any experience with these lovely little creatures? 🥰🥰🥰

Millipedes eat detritus, so they won’t harm your plant. They like soil that stays damp, and will eat dead leaves/roots. My advice would be to make sure your soil dries out between watering, and you may want to consider repotting in fresh soil. That should remove the ones that are there, as well as any food source.
Which bonide product have you tried? I have had the best results with their systemic poison that you mix in the soil. Anything that tries to eat the plant will die. It works for months without needing to add more. Their spray I bought it ok but won’t get rid of bad infestations as easily. And I haven’t had to fight millipedes. Mainly mealy bugs
@SirLiquorice I use the systemic granules religiously!! I applied in May and again last week since I saw a millipede hanging out in the pot. It may be that they aren’t eating the plant.
@ESylvanus that makes sense! I do let it dry out completely between waterings but I will go ahead and refresh the soil! It just looked like such good quality from the nursery (shocker!) that I didn’t see the need to change it any time soon. Thanks so much! ☺️
@babyfiretiger13 you know what an attention grabber of a heading is for sure 😂 my eyes just saw murder and I was like wait what?!
Agreed they won't hurt the plant but also they gross me out so I understand why you would want them gone. I can't do the legs 🤢
