I couldn't believe my eyes! I was, for lack of a better word, flabbergasted! I had NEVER seen such a thing in "person" and didn't think that they existed anywhere near our neck of the woods. Mammoth moths, lizards, and now giant millipedes!!?? I had NO idea HOW it had gotten into our house or HOW it had gotten on top of my PILLOW! Ew, ew, EW!!
Anyway, I hadn't seen one since...until today. Even though I haven't been feeling well, and feel even worse today, I decided that my carpet was in desperate need of a quick vacuum. In one of the many corners of my house I found what looked to be a pile of dead bugs under a spiderweb. It WAS a pile of dead bugs, but there was no spiderweb to be found. Not one, but TWO of these dead bugs were small millipedes! Yuck! Yuck! YUCK!! Ugh...gives me chills every time I think of it.
Apparently, they are quite harmless...but I don't care...they are gross.

Shortly after we moved into our home about 2 years ago I also had one of these pleasant visitors. Luckily, it was in the living room and not my bed. At that time there were many mini millipedes but the HUGE one was disgusting. Since then I haven't seen another big one and most of the small ones have been outside... thank goodness!

keeping the cat in the house might quell these little "buggers" as, most likely, the cat will eat them. At the very least spraying around the foundation or where the wall meets the floor might help. Lemon juice works against ants, maybe it will work against yucky, crawly bugs too?
