1 ENY-221 Pillbugs, Centipedes, Millipedes and Earwigs 1 P. G. Koehler 2 and Pillbugs (Figure 1), and pillbugs (Figure 2), are common crustacea, belonging to a group of animals called isopods and are found throughout Florida. They are wingless, oval or slightly elongated arthropods about half an inch in length and slate-gray in color with body segments resembling armored plates. Both pillbugs and sowbugs feed primarily on decaying organic matter although occasionally they may damage the roots of green plants. Their normal habitat is outdoors, but they occasionally wander inside where they do no damage. are often called woodlice and possess two tail-like appendages, seven pairs of legs, and well-developed eyes. They are incapable of rolling into a tight ball. Pillbugs or "rolly-pollies" lack the tail-like appendages and can roll into a tight ball. Habits and Biology The habits, biology and control of sowbugs and pillbugs are similar. Both animals are slow-moving, crawling arthropods. They require high moisture and are most active at night. When resting during the day, Figure 1. Sowbug. they may be found under trash, rocks, boards, under decaying vegetation, or just beneath the soil surface. A heavy infestation indoors usually indicates a large population outdoors. Mulches, grass clippings and leaf litter often provide the decaying organic matter they need to survive. Breeding can occur throughout the year in Florida. The female carries the eggs in a brood pouch 1.

2 Pillbugs, Centipedes, Millipedes and Earwigs 2 Centipedes and Millipedes Centipedes (Figure 3), and millipedes (Figure 4), are commonly seen in yards and occasionally enter homes. Neither centipedes nor millipedes damage furnishings, home or food. Their only importance is that of annoying or frightening individuals. Figure 2. Pillbug. on the underside of her body. Often there are 7 to 200 eggs per brood. The eggs hatch in 3 to 7 weeks and the young remain in the pouch another 6 to 7 weeks. Once the young leave the pouch, they never return. Some species produce only one brood per year, but others may produce 2 or more. Individuals may live up to 3 years. Control and pillbugs cause no damage inside the home. Simple mechanical control such as a broom and dustpan or a fly swatter may be adequate. If they become a serious nuisance, elimination of hiding places, food material and moisture sources will reduce the infestation. Source reduction outdoors will help considerably. Piles of leaves, grass clippings and fallen fruit should be removed. Boxes or boards and other debris should be stored off the ground to eliminate a moist shelter. Pesticide treatment may kill pillbugs and sowbugs which wander inside. Complete control is difficult to achieve, and treatments may not last more than one month. Usually it is necessary to control sowbugs and pillbugs outside. Treatments should be made to and near foundation walls, around steps or damp areas surrounding the structure. Cracks between sidewalks and the foundation require thorough treatment. Figure 3. Centipede. Figure 4. Millipede. Centipedes are many-legged animals and belong to a group of animals called Chilopods. They are usually brownish, flattened animals with many body segments. Most of the body segments have one pair of legs. Centipedes are fast runners and may vary in length from one to six inches. They have one pair of antennae or "feelers" that are easily seen. Centipedes have poorly developed eyes and are most active at night. They are active predators and feed mainly on insects and spiders. All centipedes have venom glands to immobilize their prey. The jaws of the smaller local species cannot penetrate human skin; however, the larger species may inflict painful bites.

3 Pillbugs, Centipedes, Millipedes and Earwigs 3 Centipedes are usually associated with damp, dark places such as under stones, leaf litter, logs, bark or soil crevices. Indoors they may be found in closets and bathrooms where there is high humidity. Centipedes usually lay eggs clustered together in the soil although the eggs of some species are laid singly. The eggs hatch soon after they are deposited. The female will usually guard the eggs and the newly hatched young. Young centipedes closely resemble the adults and require 3 years to mature. Centipedes are rather long-lived and individuals may live up to 6 years. granules may be applied to crawl spaces and around foundation walls. Earwigs Earwigs (Figure 5), are beetle-like, short-winged, fast moving insects about one-half to one inch in length. They are usually dark brown and have a pair of pincer-like appendages at the tip of the abdomen. They have chewing-type mouthparts and slow development. Millipedes are commonly known as "thousand leggers" and belong to a group of arthropods called Diplopods. Millipedes are worm-like, cylindrical animals with many body segments. Most of the body segments bear two pairs of legs. Millipedes tend to coil up tightly when disturbed and some species can secrete a foul smelling fluid. Millipedes feed on decaying vegetable matter and are often found under stones, flower pots, boards or similar debris where there is abundant moisture. Occasionally after rains or during cold weather, large numbers of millipedes may migrate into buildings. They can climb foundation walls and enter homes through any small opening. These pests are generally more troublesome in wooded or newly developed areas where decaying vegetation provide excellent food and breeding conditions. Female millipedes can lay from eggs singularly or in clusters in the soil. The eggs hatch in a few weeks, and the young go through 7 to 8 stages before maturing to adults. Control Indoor chemical treatment will eliminate only the centipedes or millipedes already inside. Removal of individuals with a broom or dustpan will sometimes be sufficient. A large indoor population usually indicates large numbers of millipedes or centipedes surrounding the structure. Removal of breeding sites and harborages will aid in control. Compost piles and decaying vegetation should be removed from areas close to the home. Outdoor treatments with sprays, dusts and Figure 5. Earwig. Earwigs are active at night. They usually hide in cracks, crevices, under bark or in similar places during the day. They are usually scavengers in their feeding habits, but occasionally feed on plants. The name earwig is derived from an old superstition that these insects enter peoples' ears. This idea is entirely unfounded because earwigs are harmless to man. Some species have scent glands from which they can squirt a foul-smelling liquid. This is probably used for protection; however, it makes them very unpleasant when accidentally or purposely mashed.

4 Pillbugs, Centipedes, Millipedes and Earwigs 4 The striped earwig adults are dark brown with light tan markings. The males are large and robust with stout pincers. The females are somewhat smaller and lighter in color than the males. These earwigs are in areas having sandy or clay soils, and it lives in subterranean burrows or under debris. They are usually found outdoors unless populations are large or other conditions are adverse. They enter structures in search of food, a more suitable environment, or just by accidental meanderings. Because of their nighttime activity, they remain in the soil or under debris during the day. Heavily thatched lawns or mulched flower beds are among their preferred daytime habitat. At night they collect in large numbers around street lights, neon lights, lighted windows or similar locations where they search for food. Favorite foods include armyworms, aphids, mites and scales. They also forage on food scraps or dead insects. The female lays about 50 tiny eggs in a subterranean burrow. The eggs hatch into nymphs in about 7 days and the nymphs feed on their egg case. The female continues to care for the young, grooming and manipulating them in the burrow throughout the first nymphal stage. The young nymphs are about one-eighth inch long and could be very easily confused with termites. If severe infestations occur, insecticide sprays may be necessary. These materials should be used only for spot treatment indoors. Outdoors Proper scheduling of applications may increase the efficiency of control. Application of one of the registered materials should be made late in the afternoon or early evening since earwigs are active at night. The material should be applied in a band treatment around the entire perimeter of a structure, and the band should be at least 10 feet wide. It may also be necessary to treat the base of mulched shrubbery or flower beds. Because of the high reproductive potential and habitat of earwigs, it is likely that insecticidal control will have to be repeated at regular intervals. Sprays, dusts, or granules may be used around the structure. Glass jars or tin cans baited with fish or cat food can be buried level with the ground line for use as pitfall traps. The earwigs cannot climb the sides of the container and are trapped. The trap can be cleaned periodically and the trapped earwigs destroyed. In about seven days, the nymphs molt into the second stage, and they are released from the burrow by the female. At this time the female loses her maternal instincts and many times will devour the nymphs before they can hide. During later stages, the nymphs tend to be cannibalistic. After passing through 6 nymphal stages, the earwig becomes an adult. The life cycle egg to adult usually averages 56 days. Indoors Control Earwigs are difficult to control with chemicals. Many times the most effective control for an errant earwig or two in the home is purely mechanical. A folded newspaper or fly swatter, a broom and dust pan provide quick and inexpensive control.
