Brown Worms Not Serious Pests
Many questions concerning
a small brown or b'ack, slen
der wormlike creature with
a hard shell have recently
come to the Extension Ser
vice office, Assistant County
Agent, Arnold Lueck said
this week.
Apparently hatched in
huge numbers this year, the
worms are one of several
species of millipedes or
‘ thousand-legged worms and
are usually pnly IVfc inches
long when full grown. They
have two pairs of legs on
each body segment and pro
tect themselves by secreting
an unpleasant odor.
First step in control of the
worm (not an insect) is
strict sanitation and removal
of trash or debris which pro
vide breeding places. Many
insecticides are ineffective a
gainst the pest
Millipedes normally live
outdoors whre they feed on
decaying vegetable matter,
as well as on roots and green
leaves They do not feed on
anything in the house. They
are mainly household prob
lems in newly developed
areas where the soil has been
disturbed Millipedes are
most troublesome during the
fall of the year when hordes
may crawl into homes or oth
er buildings, Lueck observed
Control in the House—
Since millipedes are slow
moving, they may easily be
picked up with a vacuum
cleaner or swept up and de
stroyed. They are difficult to
kill with household insecti-
