Millipede Control is simple and effective with nematodes!
In the mid-1980’s researchers in South Australia found that a native nematode also attacks the introduced Portuguese Millipede (nematodes are tiny parasitic ‘worms’). This nematode only attacks millipedes, and will not affect crops, plants, animals or other insects. As this is a biological control millipedes will not be eradicated, but when combined with other control strategies, numbers are significantly reduced.
Bug Central has developed a new system for releasing the nematodes using a bait station. This product contains the nematodes only, and is suitable for a large garden or small rural property. Releasing the nematodes is as easy as mixing the nematode mix with some dog food (yes, dog food!) which is used as an attractant for the millipedes. If you have your own bait stations, or plan to make your own, then this product is for you. Each gel pack of nematodes is enough for at least two cycles of release.
Detailed instructions are emailed at the time of each order.
Orders are sent via Star Track Express or Express Post, so a daytime physical address is preferred.
Western Australia: Customers in Western Australia now have a local agent for the millipede control products. Please contact Envirapest (www.envirapest.com.au)
Tasmania: Sorry, but orders cannot be sent to Tasmania as government quarantine restrictions apply.
