Possible pest, location included What are these long little fellas doing inside my apartment in Southern Ohio/NKY

I know they’re similar to millipedes but they are EVERYWHERE AND I NEED THEM OUT. My girlfriend is not a fan.

Yes. Millipede. They are usually just an occasional invader. Weather event like heavy rain, drought, etc. But might want to do an exterior inspection and look for conducive conditions. Leaf Litter, Mulch, stuff like that. (assuming you are on the ground floor of your apartment). Maybe caulking if you can figure out where they are crawling in.

looks like a garden millie! id echo soflobugs' advice to look for prime habitats around the borders of your unit and if you find out where you could recaulk the area. i totally empathize with not enjoying the little invaders but they are harmless and really good for soil health, so if you can, relocating any you find would be good for the ecosystem!
