Seems like my neighborhood got these real bad this year, never saw them before. I use Suspend SC a couple times a year and always works well. This doesnt seem to effect these guys because they are everywhere. Had an exterminator say if the whole neighborhood doesnt treat it then it is a moot point to keep wasting money. Will all these bastards die once a hard freeze comes?

Im having the same issue right now. I dont know much about the creators though. Are they bad for the house? Do they mess anything up? or are they just aggravating?

I haven't noticed anything bad from them, I think just more so aggravating.

Army worms eat up lawns with the quickness, but luckily they are easy to wipe out. Some Bifen or carbaryl will take em out.

Can you post a pic?

Looking up pictures, what I have is millipedes. Any bad side effects these creators can have on a house?

Definitely not an armyworm. Just glancing at the Suspend insecticide label, you'd think it would kill that.

I've been having little ones that look just like the ones in your pics. Look just like that and maybe an inch or slightly less in length. Been finding them in the house 1 or 2 a day almost, usually dead already but still annoying. And that's just because I see them easily on the light color tile in kitchen and bathrooms. Who knows how many more my Roomba sucks up that I didn't see because they blended in with the dark wood floor through most of the house.

I spray Talstar every 2-3 months and its worked to keep the spiders out but these little crawlers still sneak in somehow. Wish I could keep them out

It has for a short period of time and they just migrate over from the neighbors yard. I'm hoping once a good freeze comes through that it will kill them.

Suspend, bifen, permethrin, all the other stuff doesn't kill them? Diesel?

Or just get you a dozen guinea fowl. They'll keep em out.

Suspend worked for about a week and they all came back. Hoping a hard freeze kills them all.

Millipedes

These things are a bitch to control. However, they should be gone in a few weeks.

Are you saying because of cold weather? Bcs they have been around for a couple months already.
