Here's what to do. Truck down to your local Lowe's and pick up a couple different brands of ant spray. Check the active ingredients and try to get different brands that use different stuff. You might also pickup a Summer Blend of lawn fertilizer with insert treatment. Scott's Step #3.
Spray one brand of the ant spray around the outside perimeter of your home, including garage, etc. Heavier around areas that are damp, door thressholds, etc. Repeat in about a week with the other brand.
Take the other brand and spray afflicted areas indoors including baseboard areas near where millipedes have been spotted. Repeat in about a week with the other brand.
Put the Scotts stuff down on the lawn with a broadcast spreader.
Millipedes are hardy and persistent creatures that are attracted to food and standing water. A couple rounds of the sprays ought to do it. Might need a third week of spray.
Good luck.

I know what you mean. Just get a good insecticide and spray around the outside of your house. They will find another place to party.
