Moisture reduction is key since centipedes need high humidity. We apply diatomaceous earth in damp areas and botanical barriers at entry points. Habitat modification provides lasting control without harsh chemicals. We identify conditions common to hunting camps and customize every treatment to your property's specific needs.
