I have had a lot of millipedes for several months and many get into the house (new construction in 2021). I have had Dean’s out a couple of times. Their pest guy, who seems knowledgeable, said no treatment will eliminate them. Each time he came (about one month apart), he applied a granular treatment to the exterior around the house perimeter and then put sticky paper traps inside the house. The granular treatment (not Amdro) was to reduce the millipedes, not eliminate them. He essentially said, they will eventually move to somewhere else. The sticky traps get almost all of them inside the house and I rarely need to sweep up any dead ones.
