Our Treatment Approach
Natural-first solutions that actually work
Moisture control is essential since centipedes require humid environments. Diatomaceous earth barriers in damp areas. Sticky traps for monitoring. We address prey insect populations that attract centipedes. Dehumidification and drainage improvements provide lasting control. For Elmore's older structures, we inspect foundations and wall voids where pests commonly harbor.
Prevention Tips

Reduce indoor humidity with dehumidifiers
✓
Fix water leaks and improve drainage
✓
Seal cracks in foundation and around pipes

Remove leaf litter and debris near foundation
✓
Address underlying insect prey populations
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.
Can you treat centipedes in Elmore's historic homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in treating older Elmore properties using methods that won't damage historic materials. Our targeted approach eliminates pests while preserving your home's character.
