Hello. Any of you who have robust experience for the compatibility of the three: garlic, onion, and human urine, to isopods in garden and pot soil?

Maybe for 2 years I've been burying scraps into my small raised garden of about 1m long x 0.25m wide x 0.3m tall, located just under our front living room windows, for the hope to lure earthworms, but the isopods and beetles manifested instead. Beetles are only the size of silver pin heads, while the isopods have tinge of red, and adult size is about the length of a mung bean seed, of course not as thick. They're really small and delicate.

After 2 years I got enticed to use human urine (our own) as fertilizer. I don't really dilute it, I just dig a hole then pour the liquid and wait for it to fully settle down then re-cover with the dug soil.

Lately I noticed the population of the isopods really went down after less than a year. In fact I don't see them anymore when I dig soil anywhere there. But I don't really know if the urine affected

Next up, size wise is Scolopendra cataracta...

Scolopendra cataracta is a species of centipede in the family Scolopendridae. It is the first known amphibious centipede, growing to up to 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in length

When exposed, it escapes into water. It both runs along stream beds and swims with eel-like horizontal undulations of its body. Out of water, water rolls off the centipede's body leaving it dry as the surface is hydrophobic. The species was discovered, and

Scolopendra are a large species of centipede, both in number (around 100 different types), and often just large in body size

They are found in warm temperate regions, and in the tropics. The largest discovered (so far) can exceed 30 cm (12 in)

All Scolopendra are active preditors and are venemous, capable of delivering a painful (and in one reported case fatal) bite to humans via their forcipules (These are not fangs or other mouth parts, but modified legs on their first body segment)

I'm having trouble with fungus gnats in one of my isopod containers. Whenever I replenish the humidity in that container they have an population explosion, but I can't let the container get too dry since that's going to kill my isopods.

Does anyone have a solution for this that's not going to be harmful for my isopods?

Just wanted to share my isopod babies 😍

I believe this is Scolopocryptops sexspinosus, the eastern red centipede. Females protect the clutch from predators and mold spores, and some species also protect young after they hatch.

I discoverd this tiny Dude this morning, the only known isopods in this bin are Rubber Duckys. Can i celebrate my first Babyducky?

Welcome isopod and myriapod enthusiasts! Feel free to introduce yourselves, talk about your keep lists, etc.

I'm located in the midwest and I've been keeping isopods and millipedes for a couple years. I have 30 isopod colonies and 10 millipede colonies. I'm picking up three new-to-me millipede species at a reptile show tomorrow and I'm pretty excited to get them home in their new setups.
