Centipedes are fast-moving, many-legged predators that feed on other insects and spiders. Finding them indoors is usually a sign of a broader insect population they're feeding on, particularly in damp areas like bathrooms and basements.
While a centipede bite can be painful, they're not typically dangerous — but their sudden, quick movements make them one of the more unsettling pests to encounter indoors.
Signs You May Have Centipedes
- Fast-moving, many-legged insects in bathrooms, basements, or closets
- Activity concentrated in damp, dark areas of the home
- Centipedes appearing after other insect activity increases
- Sightings in mulch, leaf litter, or under stones outdoors
Our Treatment Approach
Since centipedes follow their food source, we treat both centipede activity and the broader insect population they're feeding on, with a perimeter barrier to reduce entry and moisture-focused treatment in damp indoor areas.
