How can I effectively control millipedes in my garden to prevent damage to my plants?

To effectively control millipedes in your garden and prevent damage to your plants, you can start by removing any decaying plant matter and debris where millipedes like to hide. You can also create barriers using materials like diatomaceous earth or copper tape to keep them away from your plants. Additionally, reducing moisture levels in your garden can help deter millipedes, as they thrive in damp environments. Regularly inspecting your plants for signs of damage and taking prompt action can also help manage millipede populations.
