Default What big is this in my houseplant soil?

We bought a scraggly ficus a couple of months ago that we are trying to
nurse back to health. Had (has) scale, so we took it outside and
sprayed it with Neem oil. Now it has little tiny centipede-like
creatures in the soil. They are brown, about 1/3 inch long, with lots
of legs. They are fast little creatures, and there are a lot of them!
Don't know if they came with the ficus or if they jumped in when we had
it outside to spray for scale. What are they, and more importantly,
how do I get rid of them?!?

Many thanks!
