Centpedes
While refreshing my MM from last year with compost this year, I noticed I had roly poly and centipedes in my last years MM.
Looking around I see that roly polys may or may not be a problem, so I signed up for home depot to notify me when they get more Sluggo Plus. But a search for centipedes didn't return anything. Not that my searching skill are impeccable...
I did search Lowes, HD, and Ace for Sluggo +. Will check online Amazon, et al .
Do I need to sound General Quarters?

Re: Centpedes
Try local nurseries. I bought the 2nd to the last 2.5 lbs. SP on the site that OhioGardener posted. Looking online, it looks like slim pickings for SP right now.
I was losing my baby starts to sow bugs last fall. In desperation, I lightly sprinkled SP on the bed AND sprayed with spinosad. Just tossing this idea out there.
Maybe you can buy direct from Monterey. https://www.montereylawngarden.com/product/sluggo-plus/

Re: Centpedes
Are centipedes good, bad or indifferent?

What SR said. Centipedes are generally beneficial creatures. Centipedes feed on soil-dwelling mites, insects, insect larvae, baby snails, and slugs.
