Millipedes are common pests that often end up in our yards. They typically hang out in garden areas in the damp soil under mulch, landscaping ties, and decorative rocks. The damp ground under trash cans, woodpiles, and plant pots also provide places for these pests to gather near our homes.
When millipedes move inside, they seek out damp, dark areas. You'll mainly find them at ground level, but they can climb walls and other surfaces. If millipedes are in your home, you will likely discover them in the kitchen, bathroom, basement, or crawl space.
