Centipede Control Service
There are many annoying things about centipedes: They multiply quickly, move at night, and are fast. These factors make it hard to even notice them in your home, but the most concerning thing about centipedes is that they don’t come alone. These arthropods are exclusively predatory, so if you’ve got a centipede problem then you also have a spider, beetle, or some other pest problem.
How Did Centipedes Get In My Home?
-
Centipedes, like most pests, live near food sources — wherever other pests are found. Did you know most centipedes are carnivorous? They tend to eat soft-bodied insects, spiders, worms, and even other centipedes. Damp areas like under logs are a popular residence for these annoying creatures. If you've found centipedes, it's most likely because they've found a welcoming area with a good food supply.

Centipede Control FAQs
Why am I seeing centipedes in my house?
Centipedes usually show up indoors because of moisture and because other insects are available as food. Basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and crawlspaces are common places to see them.
Are centipedes dangerous?
Most house centipedes are more startling than dangerous. They can bite, but it’s uncommon and usually happens only if they’re handled. The bigger concern is what they indicate, which is often moisture and other insect activity.
Do centipedes mean I have other pests?
Often, yes. Centipedes feed on insects like flies, ants, and roaches. If you’re seeing centipedes regularly, it can be a sign that their food sources are present somewhere in the home.
Where do centipedes hide?
They hide in dark, damp areas. Common hiding spots include under sinks, behind baseboards, in floor drains, around sump pits, and in stored boxes in basements or garages.
Why do centipedes show up at night?
Centipedes are mostly nocturnal. They hunt at night and hide during the day, so nighttime sightings are common, especially when lights are turned on in a basement or bathroom.
How do I reduce centipedes long term?
Focus on moisture control and reducing other insects. Fix leaks, use ventilation fans, consider a dehumidifier in damp areas, and seal gaps around doors and foundation penetrations.
How long does centipede control take?
You can reduce sightings quickly, but long term improvement depends on lowering humidity and limiting the insects they feed on. If moisture stays high, centipedes tend to keep showing up.
What should I do if I find centipedes in a basement or bathroom?
Reduce clutter, keep the area dry, and check for leaks or damp spots. Vacuuming helps with occasional sightings, but repeat activity usually means moisture control and entry point sealing are needed.
