Centipedes Control Near You

Not really. They can bite if they feel cornered, but their bite usually just causes mild pain or a little swelling—nothing serious. They are kind of helpful since they eat other pests like cockroaches and spiders.

They sneak in through tiny cracks, spaces under doors, or even through drains. What they are looking for is moisture and food. So, if there’s a leaky pipe or a humid basement, that’s an open invitation. 

It usually comes down to three things—moisture, shelter, and food. If you have got a lot of bugs around for them to eat, plus dark, damp corners to hide in, they will stick around.

Start by drying things out. Fix any leaks, run a dehumidifier if needed, and close up any gaps or cracks where they might sneak in. Keeping your space tidy helps too—clutter gives them places to hide.

If it’s just one, you can catch it with a jar or vacuum it up and toss it outside. But if you keep seeing them, it’s a good idea to figure out where they are coming from and fix the moisture issue. That usually does the trick.

No. They don’t chew up your stuff or mess with your furniture. They are more of a surprise than a problem, and they help keep the other bug population down. 

Dry out your home, declutter, and block off entry points. If you are still seeing too many, it might be time to call in pest control. They can help with the deeper treatment if needed.

They don’t go away. You might see them more in warmer months when bugs are more active, but they will move indoors if it gets too cold or dry outside.

Keep things clean and dry out there—trim back any overgrowth, get rid of piles of leaves or wood, and avoid letting moisture build up. The fewer bugs and damp spots there are, the less reason centipedes have to hang around.
