Hopefully this is just a seasonal thing. I don't like those particular critters either. Blleeccch.

This whole thread just reads to me like the opening scenes in a new mega-monster horror movie "Attack of the Millipedes!"
Just don't go down into your cellar at night to investigate some strange sound (the pitter-patter of millions of tiny feet?) with a flickering flashlight.
(The only thing worse - to me - than large, hairy insects are way too many small multi-legged ones. Ugh. I'm with Jobob - no pictures!)Keep calm and carry on...

All we get is ladybugs and cluster flies twice a year here. I don't think I could handle millipedes! Thinking about them makes me want to do a creepy bug wiggle.
I dunno about how to keep them out. We heard about menthol for ladybugs but that only worked a little bit - apparently they hate the smell. Could be a last ditch effort if you don't find anything else. Do millipedes have a sense of smell???
