Millipedes

Anybody else suffering from a bigger than normal invasion of millipedes this year?

I’m in Sanur and it has become a full time job catching them. Mostly the black and yellow ones and sometimes the red ones, which seem to be better at sneaking indoors, but I don’t know if the numbers are greater than last year as I wasn’t in this villa last year.

Yes the black and yellow ones that spray cyanide, they come in numbers every year but I have a lot more indoors this year and for everyone you get 10 come back

WTF!!! spray cyanide??? And I was complaining about mozzies. We, for sure, don't have any of those here in East Bali. Another good reason (if you need one) not to live in the south!! Next you'll have rabies carrying sharks with fecking lazer guns.

Well, I learned something today. Quite a few around in the resort where I stay. I do a lot of "elimination" of them, and did note the smell, but never investigated it.

I think they've picked my garden as their mating spot this year
