E-55-WAmong Indiana’s common household “invaders” are millipedes, sowbugs, and pillbugs. None of them are true insects, but they belong to closely related groups. Millipedes have two pairs of short legs on each body segment. There are many species of millipedes, but the ones that commonly invade homes are usually 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches long, gray or brown, and curl up when disturbed. Sowbugs and pillbugs are gray, with flattened bodies and 7 pairs of legs. They range in length up to 1/2 inch. When disturbed, pillbugs can roll themselves into a ball, but sowbugs cannot.
