Well, the Sevin dust is definitely killing millipedes that come in contact
with it, but too many seem to be escaping its effect -- I confess that I
did not crawl under my deck or either porch, so there are lots of perimeter
areas that are unprotected, as it were.

I wish I could determine *where* the things are coming in!!! That might
help a lot. The stuff I sprayed on the baseboards inside seems to work, but
it left an objectionable odor for a day or two, so next time I'll pick a day
when I can open some windows. (The stuff is supposed to have a residual
effect, but the act of spraying it on baseboards served to point out to
*clean* the baseboards & re-apply the stuff. Honestly, sometimes it's hard
for me to believe that I have only 2 dogs & 1 cat -- who must be hosting
parties in the middle of the night, based on the amount of dog hair in my
house!)

Yep. This stuff is supposed to be a waterproof powder, (sure it is) but
it
might be at least water resistant. Is the Sevin working? I may need to
try
it.
