Portuguese millipedes are a serious pest in the Adelaide Hills.
They ate most of my strawberries and all of my cantaloupes this summer
.
So I have devised a millipede trap made from a Jalna yoghurt container.
I cut the top off the container, just below the shoulder, invert the top part and shove that into the bottom section. The lip, which was at the top of the container, is now half way up the jar and stops the millipedes crawling out. Bury the container so that the top edge is flush with the soil. Make a solution of water, molasses and a splash of sweet liquor such as sherry or blackberry nip. Fill the trap to just below the lip.
The millipedes just can't help killing themselves. The picture above shows the output of one trap in one week.
I don't know if it has much affect on the overall population but it certainly makes me feell good!
