Default Millipedes

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?

Tis the millipede season! Very hard to get rid (haven't heard any success stories) of; they are rather harmless tho a bit ugly. Talked to a exterminator and he said they burrow about 12" underground - they get stirred up with newer construction areas and should disappear after a 2-3 years or so.

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