Default millipedes

I know that they are not harmful, but they are an annoyance. They are marching all over our lanai. We had Deans come out to spray the lanai and spread granules around the whole perimeter of the house. Since then, it has rained every afternoon, so I don't know if the protection has washed away. We are still picking up dozens a day on the lanai floor and walls. We recently had fresh pine bark chips spread in the shrub beds. But, if that was a significant factor, then I'd expect to see millipedes elsewhere around the house.

Is anyone else having this problem? Is there some better treatment?

Thanks
