Do mothballs keep millipedes/centipedes away in homes?

Question

every summer i spot a couple of millipedes/centipedes. it has lots of legs and maybe a few longer ones. they crawl extra fast and are quite big, i think. how do i get rid of them? would the smell of mothballs keep them away?

Answer 1

Moth balls are only good for moths.If you have them in your home,it might be a good idea to purchase an outdoor insecticide,and spray round the bottom parts of your home, walls and things.I would check with your local garden center.I use one called-"Target" but I don't know where you live?

Answer 2

Mothballs give off a dangerous gas that is dangerous when inhaled so I wouldn't use them. Get some glue traps.
