Millipedes are found in soil, leaf-litter and decaying plant tissues in the garden. They damage plants by feeding on roots, tunneling into bulbs and feeding on tubers and corms.
Millipedes found around your houseplant should be immediately removed. Take the plant out of the pot, wash the pot with a bleach solution, wash all soil off the roots, use new potting soil and replant.

Milk is produced purely by utilising mammals (i think of), collectively as millipedes are arthropods (Arthropoda is a phylum, and the phylum mammals belong to is Chordata). although, many animals would properly be "milked" for issues different than milk (fairly snakes for their venom), and a few millipedes produce a poison whilst threatened.

I live in the South, and battled those things in 2004 and 2005, never had them in the house, but did have the exterminator here both of those years. He said they are not harmful to myself, they are just looking for moisture, and without it they dry up and die. So take them back outside, or kill them.
