    Does anyone know how to stop millipedes coming into my house? Is there any way to trap them or a pesticide someone would recommend? I hate them find about 10 a night walking around our house.

    are you sure they are millipedes and not silverfish? if they are silverfish it is a sign of damp. but they can be killed with ant powder just sprinkle it into corners and cracks leave a few days and hover up

    Is your house timber framed?

    Millipedes about an inch long, silverfish are tiny
