And when 1000 millipedes come?
Everything will happen sometime for the first time. As with us, we got uninvited visit! It was not the bailiff, not the mother-in-law, not the Bible Students.
No much more unpleasant! There were quite a few who gathered at the house entrance. Lots of little, almost black worms! At least we thought once.
Colleague Google helped us only with difficulty and finally we learned: Outside the door is, crawls and crawls a pile of Diplopoden, German centipede.
Animal-loving as we are, we deceivers took a sheet of paper and carried the dear animals into the grass with a high bow. On the following day, we did this once more, to find on the third day about ten times the number of visitors just outside the front door.
What is a janitor for? And why a cell phone? Short phone call, demand on the following day.
"Swept everything on the shovel and then in the trash," says the caretaker. OK.
Of course, the acquaintances and relatives of our millipedes promptly arrived in the next few days. They wanted to know how their friends are doing with us.
My love of animals was over. My pepper spray but not! Well, I could have better protected the base of the outer wall. I had to spray on the next day something with soft soap solution. Under the pepper spray, the army of diplopods at least gave up their attack on our house, definitely - and even quite sustainably.
Since such invasions are reported from Austria to Berlin more frequently, I can only recommend: In mass occurrence, immediately work with the good, herbal pepper spray. The animals are also berated days later by the material.
Weidmannsheil to all who still have it!
