I have hundreds of not thousands of inch worms in my raised beds where I am growing tomatoes. Some of these worms have decided to come into my house. I have never had this problem before.

Are they dangerous to my plants?

What typically attracts them to your yard?

Is there a way to safely get rid of them?

Those don't look like inch worms or catapillars, they look like millipedes or centepedes!!!

Ok, well maybe they are millipedes or centipedes. Any advice on what to do about them? Should I be concerned? Or just let them be? They were all over my garage door today. It was gross.

No idea. Never had to deal with them like that. Hopefully someone comes along and can offer a solution.

They are millipedes. They love damp places and feeding on decaying organic matter.

They are completely harmless to men, dogs, cats and cultivated plants and may in fact be beneficial in helping break down organic matter (dead plants and the like).

If you are finding them in such large numbers in your raised bed it means moisture levels in it are very high and that you are either using not fully decomposed compost or a mulch they love. Reduce moisture levels and they'll disperse and move elsewhere.

Good advice from ElPolloDiablo.
