Hello Adrianne! Perhaps you have a leaky faucet or too much moisture in those areas — moisture and dampness attract millepedes. Here is information on millepedes and suggestions how to get rid of them:

Are these the really creamy fast ones? I hate those!! However, everything is trying to get into warm places. The milipedes are attracted to damp and dark places. The benefit to having them is that they eat spiders, which I have also noticed having more this time of the year. Good luck.
glue traps aren't just for mice....they will trap creepy crawlies as well.
I find them amusing, but not in my house or on my kitchen counters. Here are a few links to help you out. Before using chemicals, do your homework if you have kids, pets or elderly occupants with health issues. Hope these links help you out!

hi there, have you heard of Diatomaceous Earth? It's a totally natural powder from the earth that kills nasties by slicing their exoskeleton. Safe for people & pets. Kills roaches too! Look up online, can get at any feed/farm store & amazon. CHEAP pest control!
Yes. I use it for my plant/dirt living/flying pests. HOW would I use it for Millipedes? I never know where they are going to be. Or where they come-from.
Do you know if they all start out in the basement?
I know works great right!
They may give you the creep but they won’t hurt you. In fact they are a super preditor. I never kill them. They will kill spiders, ants, flys and many other insects that you really don’t want in your home.
If you use the food grade diatomaceous earth, that will not harm your pets.
I have had them in the bathroom wonder if they come up the drain and they are FAST. Something about all those legs really freaks me out.
Vacumm them out and use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture in your house. - Millipedes are drawn to moisture, so set up a dehumidifier to dry out your house.
Make sure you have plenty of ventillation! Use Damp aborbing crystals too.
