Have you had a moist spring? I think this is a millipede and they prefer moist areas such as under mulch and damp material. They are somewhat of a problem in cycles of damp weather, but when it dries up they tend to disappear. You can control the initial hatch out by removing any place the eggs can be such as damp boxes in a garage, heavy leaf litter or damp mulch. Adults can be controlled by spreading a band of insecticide granules around the perimeter of your house according to directions.
