Are these millipedes and how do I get rid of them?
I'm new to this forum but have been reading about this same pest. I've found many (about 10 or so) of these creepy things on the top soil layer of my potted kaffir lime tree.
I have tried the following sprays but none seem to work:
- Orchard Insect Killer (active ingr: lambda cyhalothrin 0.002%);
- Spinosad 0.001%;
- Insecticidal soap 1%
The creatures curl up for a couple minutes then unwind and simply crawl back around. Can anyone help identify what these creatures are and also how to get rid of them?
I've shared a link below. Thanks for any tips! :)
Image link:
Why do you think you need to "get rid" of millepedes? For the most part millepedes are not harmful in the garden and are really quite beneficial since they help convert organic matter into plant food to help your plants grow.
Here is a link that might be useful: About Millepedes
cenesia, while what kimmsr says might be true of your garden, it is not desirable to have a population of millipedes in your containers. They will end up being interested in the roots of your plant.
If that were my plant, I would repot it in some new medium. You may wish to visit the Citrus Forum for some ideas on good mixes for citrus. Anyway, while repotting, I'd add some diatomaceous earth (DE) to the mix and on the surface of the soil once you've repotted. DE can be found in the gardening section of almost any retail outlet. Be sure that you use horticultural/grade and not the DE that is sold for pool filters.

you are a toxic danger ....
they are in the soil ..
change the soil.. and be done with it..
why do you need more chemicals.. or organics ..
crimminey ...
the easiest.. SAFEST solution is staring you in the face ... and you want to go spray/dust more things around ...
PS: the DE is on the surface.. they live under the surface.. if you have drainage holes.. they will use those.. DE is NOT going to solve the problem ... though it might slow them down ... rhiz said change the soil FIRST ... then try DE ....
Since Millepedes live on decaying organic matter, and need a pretty moist environment, their presence in containers, pots, may be because the growing medium is too moist, too wet, and needs to be allowed to dry more between waterings.
Some people have a fear of any "bug" and think drastic measures are needed to control each and every one whereas most often simple measures, such as allowing a plants soil to dry more, is all that is needed. The single most common cause of a plants, especially a potted plant, failure is overwatering.
In a peat based medium, simple NORMAL moisture is just fine for millipedes. As a matter of fact, one would need to dry the potting soil to the point of dessication of the plant in order for a little population of these arthropods to evacuate. Drier soil conditions is one of the things that would encourage them to begin feeding on plant roots in earnest.
Millipedes in containers is a simple case of plants being in the wrong place at the right time. They can be brought home from the garden center where storage and maintenance might be an issue, or from the growers who may not practice proper housekeeping in keeping the benches or floors swept. Millipedes can find their way to container plants when they (the plants) are put outside for the summer under a shady tree. A common contaminant is the potting medium, itself. If even a pinhole tear occurs in the plastic bag as it sits in a big pile on the floor of the garden section, millipedes will find their way to that habitat. And, if you've ever been in the back of one of the big delivery trucks direct from the grower in Florida (or wherever) you'll know why you end up with all kinds of 6,8, and zillion-legged creatures in the plants you buy.
If you can see the creatures, pick them out with a gloved hand and either kill them or throw in another part of the garden. I never spray an insect i can catch. But of course I like insects. And some are too fast like the Four-lined bug. That is my enemy and I must squirt them with insecticidal soap.
Agree with kimmsr. I have had populations of bugs in potted plants that have not done the plants any harm. From what I have seen millipedes are amongst the most harmless of bugs next to pillbugs. I would just leave them alone. If they aren't eating the plant then there isn't a problem.
I believe I have either centipede or millepieds that may or may not have arrived with 2 large dracena palm-like plants. Is it possible for either of these bugs to live in the floorboards of an NYC aparment on their own, or would they definitely originate in a plant? I read in earlier posts in this conversation that they may appear due to overwatering? But, that also changing the soil and cleaning roots could work? Should I also clean all of the palm-like leaves? I'm aftraid that cleaning the leaves (or doing anything indoors as we don't have an outdoor space) will allow the bugs to drop or hatch....advice???
Neither Millipedes nor Centipedes are pests that need to be gotten rid of, unless they live in the pot of a house plant. If that is what you have then allowing the potting soil to get dryer then normal, or repotting is the best solution.
Here is a link that might be useful: About Millipedes
hey annie
it was said.. a bit above: Since Millepedes live on decaying organic matter
then you asked: Is it possible for either of these bugs to live in the floorboards of an NYC aparment on their own, or would they definitely originate in a plant?
can you answer your own question??? .. are your floorboards decaying ??? .. they came with the plant ...

Included in those numbers were 32 children and for the good majority of the voyage the passengers were underneath, vary rarely going on deck as they would be under foot of the crew.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
The senior class of Yeshiva of Flatbush in Brooklyn was kicked off a flight Southwest Airlines flight from New York to Atlanta on Monday for being "non-compliant."
Flight attendants said the students did not stay seated and continued to use their mobile devices in advance of takeoff, despite their requests as well as from the captain.
Chaperones interviewed by CNN said the flight crew overreacted and that some of the 101 students had to be told twice to sit down and turn off their devices, but that they all complied.
One of the students, Jonathan Zehavi, told CNN that the class was targeted because they were identifiably Jewish.
"They treated us like we were terrorists; I've never seen anything like it," Zehavi said. "I'm not someone to make these kinds of statements. I think if it was a group of non-religious kids, the air stewardess wouldn't have dared to kick them off."
The airline gave the students travel vouchers to continue on to their trip's destination. The students went on several different flights, some taking up to 12 hours to meet up with the group.

I received notice that I have been banned from the Huffington Post. I checked my postings; they do not include inappropriate language as others do. If any thing I may have commented too often. Your reporter did a story on me when I was president of Rabbis for Romney. I enjoy the discussions and postings on your site and would appreciate an explanation. The only thing I can think of is that I posted against the Holocaust Claims Conference as well as Rabbi Schreier and Muslims touring Auschwitz. If the Muslims complained, there was no foul language and as a child of Holocaust survivors I can speak out against extremist Muslims who are against Israel and America. I do not want those extremists praying for my dead siblings and other relatives at Auschwitz. It was the Mufti of Jerusalem who was in charge of an SS division for the Nazis. Is there anything here that would warrant my being banned. Please have the courtesy to email me.

In the Wall Street Journal, David Gelernter is very upset about Kids Today.
For most young people, music is a minor consumable, like toothpaste.
Okay. That's debatable, by which I mean wrong, but moving along.
Here's where it gets real. Emphases in original:
Musicians and music majors aside, my students at Yale—and there are no smarter, more eager, more open students anywhere—just barely know who Beethoven is. Beethoven. "He composed music"—that is the general consensus.
To know nothing about Beethoven? That is cultural bankruptcy. That is collapse. It goes far beyond incompetence, deep into betrayal and farce.
"Why should we know anything about Beethoven?" The question was asked in all seriousness by a sophomore just a few months ago. When I dredged up old, tired clichés, he listened carefully—and seemed convinced! What could be sadder? He was only waiting for the smallest bit of encouragement.
I told him (approximately), "You must know Beethoven's music because no one has ever said anything deeper about what it means to be human, to look life and death in the eye, to know beauty at its purest and most intense—if you can take it. Because Beethoven asserts his own mere human self against the whole cosmos and makes it listen; he addresses God face-to-face, like Moses, whether God listens or not. And so people all over the world study and listen to and perform his music with reverence." Clichés, but they were news to him.
No one has ever said anything deeper! NO ONE. Beethoven makes THE VERY COSMOS listen. He GETS UP IN GOD'S FACE. Can you take it? You can't. You can't even take it. This is you trying to take it:

BREWERS ROUNDUP: Brewers take care of Cubbies, 6-1
The Milwaukee Brewers have won four-of-their-last-five, after beating the Chicago Cubs 6-1 at Miller Park last night. Caleb Gindl fell a double short of the cycle. The rookie outfielder ended a 2-for-17 slump by going 3-for-3 with three R-B-I's and three runs scored. Gindl homered in back-to-back games for the only second time in his baseball career. His triple came in the fourth inning, and he scored the run which put Milwaukee in front for good.

This is a very nice suit although I had to return it because it didn't fit quite right. However, I would have changed the gold buttons to something a little more appealing to me.
I love this suit. It is very figure flattering. I received many compliments. The only recommendation I would make would be to use metal buttons instead of plastic. But overall, very satisfied with the purchase.
I always wear a size 8 and this has a bigger skirt and smaller jacket. Didn't seem to fit in the right places.
I purchased this suit for an interview and it worked out really well. It fits very well and it looks very professional and stylish. I am very pleased with this purchase.
i wold like to have this but my size diffrent i use to have jaket 16 size and size 12 kert so can you send me if it possible to have two diffrent things?

IranView In iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Conceived in San Francisco in 1998, Iran began as the four-track bedroom-recording project of singer and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Aites. Playing most of the instruments himself and recruiting friends as needed, Aites released Iran's self-titled debut through Andee Connors' (A Minor Forest, J Church, Ticwar) Tumult label in 2000. The album showcased Aites' talent for balancing pop melodies with noise and tape hiss. The result was a sound like a more approachable Dead C, or like a throwback to the lo-fi early-'90s sound of Pavement, Smog, and Sebadoh. Aites relocated to New York City and released the more straightforward album Moon Boys on Tumult in early 2003, after which point Andee Connors stepped in to play drums.

Released in 1988, Avenir is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by legendary type designer Adrian Frutiger, best known for his Univers and Frutiger designs. Although modeled after Futura ("avenir" is the French word for "future") and classified as a geometric sans, Avenir has some slightly humanist features that add warmth to the face, such as the tail on the "t" and the "o" that isn't a perfect circle. Frutiger considered Avenir his finest work and it was voted the top favorite font of designers in a recent poll I did on Typewolf. Avenir is available in six weights — light, book, roman, medium, heavy and black — each with corresponding oblique styles.
If you are looking for an alternative to Avenir, I recommend checking out Neuzeit and Larsseit. I think Century Schoolbook would make a nice font combination paired with it.

Tent-making Bat from Braulio Carrillo National Park, Costa Rica. May, 2009. I do not know the exact species of this bat so any ID help is welcome. I searched many bat "tents" until I found this one.
Tent-making bats cut ridges in the leaves of certain palm and heliconia plants so that the leaves fold into a "tent" to hide in during the day. An advantage to making their own home is that their hunting range in not limited to the area near their cave or tree hollow but instead can hunt as far as they wish and just make a new home.

I am a bit anal about noises and squeaks, so it is really annoying. Upon inspection, the dealer found that the strut plates are worn, causing the problem. The struts are fine, but they want to replace the plates and struts for about $1,200. An independent shop said they could replace the plates only for $500. How can I be assured that this is the problem before making the investment of changing the plates? Is there any reason to replace the struts at the same time if they are just fine now?

A Is the transmission failing to engage overdrive? Or failing to lock up the torque converter clutch? Start with the simple possibilities. Any of the following could cause either of these issues: a faulty thermostat preventing the engine from reaching full operating temperature, a faulty or disconnected coolant temperature sensor or a faulty or disconnected vehicle speed sensor.

'Between the Toe' Sandals--'End-of-he-Trail' or 'Still Stylish'?
I'm investing in some good quality sandals at end-of-the-year close-out prices!!! I only do this every several years so I'd like to invest in some shoes with longevity, not only as far as wear, but with classic style, too. I'd like your opinions on longevity of the "thong" style sandal as opposed to just plain old open toe, open heel strappy type casual sandals. Do you think the "between the toe" style will be around and in fasion for a few more years or do you think they're at the end of the trail, so to speak? And while we're at it---what do you think about the capri pant? A fasion "yesterday" or are they at the tail-end of a trend???!!! TIA for you advice!!!
I'm no authority by a long shot; however, I did see the Berkenstock lady showing thong style Berkenstocks on QVC just a few weeks ago.
Personally I think the capri pants are the bees kneesâº
Tons of the gals at the school where I work wear them all the time.
Again, I'm no authority but I think I share the feeling of many others in that, if it looks good on me and I feel good wearing it, and I get lots of compliments...I'm gonna wear it!
Like Suelahoo I'm no authority either, but I do think thong-type sandals have been around for a long time and will always be worn. I do consider them a more casual type sandal though.
I like the crop pants, capris and all those shorter lengths. They work especially well when you don't want to wear shorts or long pants. I work in a school too and lots of the people there wear them. I have a feeling that type of pants will be around for some time to come also.

Which way should cross faucet handles turn?
My plumber set it up so that the hot turns clockwise and the cold turns counter clockwise. It feels very awkward to me. I want him to redo it, but what is the typical way these usually work?
I'm thinking they both should go on clockwise and off counter clockwise.
Generally, it's considered most intuitive if cross handles both turn in the same direction. Counter-clockwise to turn the flow on, and clockwise to turn the flow off. This conforms with the same directions you would twist a jar lid to open or close it, or the same directions you turn the nut on a bolt to tighten or loosen it.
Lever handles, on the other hand, should turn in opposite directions. The hot side should turn counter-clockwise to turn on the flow, and clockwise to turn off the flow. The cold lever is opposite, clockwise to turn on the flow, and counter-clockwise turn turn it off. This allows you to pull both levers toward you to turn on the flow, and push them away from you to turn off the flow.
My posting above is with reference to a deck-mounted faucet. When referring to bath or shower valves mounted on a wall, levers are usually set up so that lifting the lever on both the hot and cold sides turns on the flow, and pushing down on the lever turns off the flow. Cross handles mounted on a wall usually operate just as they would if deck-mounted.
I agree with what wa8b said.
I think your plumber did it right.
I ordered three wall mounted faucets with cross handles and they sent me valves that were for lever handles, which meant that the operated differently - which would drive me nuts.
I had to bug them to send me the right valves, but they did and now the handles operate the same, as they should, imo.
wa8b, thanks. I think you're right that it should match twisting a jar or screw open. That will make perfect intuitive sense. I'll have him adjust the hot so that it matches the cold. It is really aggravating the way it is currently done.
thetews, the plumber set mine up so they operate differently now (cold turns on to the right, hot turns on to the left) and it is awful! He did not do it the way I want it, but he's a great guy and he'll fix it. I hope we have the right valves!
at the end of the day, it is always to be the way you want it done, and a good plumber can make that happen. however; it is proper for handles and stems to turn opposite (mirror one another). hot is to turn counter clockwise and cold is to turn clockwise.
as for preference- there are sound logicall reasons to have it either way. the only time there seems to be an issue is when the handles are NOT levers. levers are easy to explain by there nature. round and cross levers create debate. since the industry and plumbers like things to be the same or consistant, almost all faucets and especially high end faucets will turn opposite one another regardless of the handle type. but again- a good plumber will make your round or cross handles turn in any direction, left or right- hot and cold. there are many combinations.
