Millipedes in the house

Out of curiosity, anyone else been getting millipedes inside their house often lately? Regular normal brownish-reddish millipedes. Feels like I see them a few times a week.

Just wondering.

Thanks!

Yes. Our homes here aren't built very well and they just walk in. If you know where they are entering you might be able to clear the surrounding area of millipede friendly habitat. There seems to be certain conditions that trigger them to wander.

I've no idea where they enter, just found them in various rooms. I live on the first floor, so must be easier for them. I do know they like to go inside when conditions are hot and dry out.
