Put them in a enclosure at least 2.5x as heigh as their length and you won't have escapees, they can't climb glass like a tarantula.

Perhaps you should have done some research on proper enclosures before purchasing 9 centipedes.

I admit I don't know much about centipedes, but I believe they normally don't do well when housed together (they'll eat each other). Post a picture of your housing container(s), please. It does sound like you need something taller, or just a different setup.
