When they say big things come in small packages, they might as well be talking about the chaos centipedes can cause. These multi-legged pests may seem unassuming, but they are stealthy predators that can quickly overrun your property. Centipedes thrive in dark, damp environments like basements, bathrooms, and crawlspaces, where they hunt other insects for food. While their appetite for pests might seem beneficial, having centipedes indoors is a clear sign of larger issues, such as excess moisture or an insect infestation, that can disrupt the comfort of your home.

Our team understands centipede behavior, their habitats, and how to eliminate them at the source.

We're committed to exceeding your expectations, protecting your home, and using treatments that are both effective and safe for your family.

Identifying a Centipede Problem
Centipedes can be one of the trickiest pests to manage, not because of their size but due to their elusive nature. These nocturnal creatures prefer to stay hidden, spending most of their time in damp, dark areas such as basements, closets, or beneath clutter. With their long, multi-segmented bodies and numerous legs, centipedes can vary in size and appearance, often making them difficult for the untrained eye to recognize.
The best way to determine if you have a centipede problem is to look for signs of their presence, such as spotting them scurrying across floors or walls at night. Additionally, centipedes often indicate the presence of other insects, as they rely on them for food. If you're seeing an unusual number of centipedes, it's a good idea to inspect your property for moisture issues or other pest infestations they may be preying on.
You might have a centipede infestation if you notice any of the following signs in your home:
Frequent sightings of centipedes, particularly in damp areas like bathrooms, basements, or crawlspaces
An increase in other small insects, which centipedes prey on
Musty odors, often associated with the damp conditions centipedes thrive in
Unusual movement in cluttered, dark spaces such as closets or storage areas
Bite marks on your skin, though rare, as centipedes can bite if they feel threatened
Centipedes are fast movers, making them hard to catch and even harder to manage once their population begins to grow. However, controlling centipedes doesn't have to be overwhelming. Reducing excess moisture in your home, sealing cracks and gaps, and eliminating clutter are effective ways to limit their hiding spots.

Our customized treatment plans are designed to deliver fast results and create a long-lasting, centipede-free environment for your home.
