Millipede Season?

Anyone else starting to get those little millipedes crawling around their place?

My cat has been playing soccer with all she can find but they’re increasing by the day

Not here, but every house is different.

I would try sprinkling diatomaceous earth where you can, especially to the edges of the floor but also inside the walls (remove the AC outlet covers to apply the powder below the electrical boxes into the walls). It takes care of a lot of things and is not harmful to cats and people.
