Latter part of 2020 we had millipedes all over the driveway and many in the house. Got every kind of spray to kill them. Not a scratch. Spray directly with Wasp Killer and other pretty powerful stuff and then just keep on crawling. Dean’s happened to come and I asked our guy what he can do. NOTHING kills them. He gave me some paper sticky boxes to put here and there. The bugs crawl all over the place, back and forth, and if the box just happens to be in the path, that’s it. They are stuck, curl up, die. Looked up the bug and they do no harm. They eat dead vegetation. Don’t have any dead vegetation that I know of inside. Outside, yes. They stopped being prolific about a month or so ago. Last week saw one, just one, that was 1-1/2” long in hall. Don’t know where they come from. Been here about 5-1/2 years. Never saw these before last year. Interestingly enough, I don’t see the anoles going after them.
