Centipedes questions from Northeast Kingdom residents

House centipedes can bite but rarely do. They're actually beneficial predators eating other pests. However, their presence indicates moisture issues and prey insect populations worth addressing.

Centipedes require high humidity to survive. Bathrooms, basements, and crawl spaces provide ideal conditions. Reducing moisture makes your home less hospitable to centipedes.

We address the moisture conditions centipedes need, apply diatomaceous earth which damages their exoskeletons, and seal entry points. This approach provides lasting control.

Centipedes don't damage structures or belongings. They're predators that eat other insects. Their presence mainly indicates moisture problems that should be addressed.
