I think too that a few 'pests' shoulder the blame by dint of being the

I've had spuds and carrots peppered with holes which could only have
been made by slugs - and living within these holes were nests of
immature millipedes.

I tend to agree with you there. Their mouthparts are pretty small, and
probably, like woodlice, only turn up at sites already attacked by
something else.

I've found millipedes inside chilli peppers, with only a tiny hole to be
seen. But they don#t cause too much of a problem otherwise.
