Frequently Asked Questions
Are house centipedes dangerous?
House centipedes can bite but rarely do, and bites cause only minor, localized pain similar to a bee sting. They're actually beneficial predators eating spiders, cockroaches, and other pests. However, large populations indicate moisture or pest issues.
What causes centipede infestations?
Centipedes need moisture and prey insects to survive. Damp basements, bathroom leaks, poor drainage, and abundant insect populations create ideal conditions. Addressing moisture issues and underlying pest problems eliminates centipede habitat.
Why do Benson homes have more centipedes problems?
Benson's proximity to water creates humidity that centipedes thrive in. We address both the immediate infestation and the underlying moisture conditions that attract these pests.
