# Help!! I just found these little bastards in the soil at the base of…

Help!! I just found these little bastards in the soil at the base of my Parlor Palm.  
Where did they come from??

Is it possible my other plants are infected too?  
This plant is currently on its own shelf, but previously was next to another plant.

I’m going to do a full soil strip and soap soak tomorrow to get rid of them and any eggs.  
😣 very concerned and grossed out!  
Please advise.

My understanding is those actually aren’t a problem. In fact, they’re good for the plant/soil. If you don’t like them you can use some Castile soap diluted in water

Are they millipedes?
