Is anyone having a millipede problem? They are the small ones, about an inch, skinny, dark brown/black. They are hanging around on cement. The patio, garage, lanai. They come out right after the rains. I've had Steller out twice and I still have the problem. I plan to call Massey tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone else is dealing with these yucky things?

Many of us are rather harmless, tho a bit ugly.
