When I think millipedes, I see a small gray metallic looking tube slowly shuffling across the floor.
When I see black or red many legged creepy crawlers running rapidly across the floor or walls I see centipedes.
Millipedes, supposedly, are pretty innocuous.
Centipedes are supposed to have a toxic bite.
I say supposed to because I've never had them pleasure of being bitten by one, and cannot verify it.
Plus, they are supposed to be quite aggressive.
My experience with them does bear that out.
Are you sure you're seeing millipedes?
Whenever we get centipedes coming into the house, I spray Home Defense around the exterior of the house foundation and areas they might lurk near the house.
They need moisture.
They die in the house because they dry out.
An 18" to 24" strip of exposed cinders around the foundation will discourage them.
We have a small lanai adjacent to the house that is on a wooden platform elevated several inches off the ground.
Underneath it is a centipede heaven.
I spray under there regularly.
We rarely see centipedes anymore.
It has probably been at least 6 to 9 months since seeing the last one in the house.
We used to see them quite regularly.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
