Gez I hate these things.

Anyone else have bad experiences with these pests?

Last year they were bad, this year they're worse. I swept up 8 dust-pan full's of them yesterday from just 2 sides of our house, and took quite a few dead & live ones out of my observatory.

The house has a barrier of residual pesticide around it to kill them so they don't enter the house, the observatory is more tricky, as it would just get washed off by rain. Not quite sure what I'm going to do to stop them being a problem in the observatory.

I don't like using the pesticide but it does stop them getting inside. Especially don't want to use it in the observatory where there are friendly gekko's living.

They say (CSIRO & AGWA fact sheets) there's no known impact to the native critters... but there's got to be with so many of the millipedes eating everything within reach. It's just amazing how many there are.
