Small worms

They will be gone in 2 to 3 weeks. Its that time of year they do this.

That used to be the case but last year we had them worse than ever and they stayed all summer no matter how much I sprayed.

Millipedes. We had about 17 million last year at the farm. We saw 1 yesterday. I’d sweep out the shop and within 10 minutes the floor would be covered again. They thrive on moisture and they get everywhere. They also find cracks and get in the house. We applied several poisons
and the thing that finally seemed to work was warmer, dry weather. When they die, they curl up and get crunchy.

This is what they look like and same issues Lip. Thanks and it is probably what they are since you aren’t far from me. Thanks.

As mentioned before I have owned this place 20 (land 20 house 3 years) and have never had this problem.

My wife's chickens love 'em! Get you about a dozen layin' hens and a rooster and let them roam free in the yard... problem solved and lots of good side benefits... FRESH EGGS!!

With the varmints I have around here they would have to be some mean a_ _ chickens to survive. Lol but that’s what I need.

Correction on my part. I haven’t figured out the solution but the culprit has been identified. But will look into it more. I used to say I would ask the old timers but I am one of them now. Lol I just sprayed again.

I had some granular poison for grubs. We spread it as a last resort about the same time it stopped raining and got hot. Not sure if it helped or not.

Interesting article about them. Do you have a bunch of mulch or plants around your house?

I do have flower beds in the front of the house. Good article thanks. I have some work to perform. Maybe I can get rid of these dang flower beds now, heck we live in a rural area. Lol

THAT's what the rooster is for... A mean rooster is a pretty dang good match for a coon or possum, even a single yote... Course, he's a pretty good deterrent for walk up visitors to the house too!
