They are probably millipedes, and I have had the same problem this summer, except they come into my apt. every night in hordes! If anyone knows what I can do to get rid of them I'd be grateful. And, I have tried sealing up every possible crack I could find, but they still get in.

: Hi,

: I've been finding a lot of flat, almost 2" long black worms on my driveway, patio etc. after rain. They're definitely not your typical earth worm. I cannot distiguish their head for their tail. They also tend to "shrink" when poked. What are these and should I be concerned?

: Thanks in advance for your help!
