How We Safeguard Your Home from Centipedes

What Are Centipedes?

Centipedes are fast-moving, nocturnal arthropods known for their long, segmented bodies and numerous legs—typically one pair per body segment. Common species, such as the house centipede, are frequently found in damp areas like basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces. While most centipedes are not dangerous to humans, their sudden appearance and rapid movement can be alarming. In rare cases, larger centipedes may deliver a mild bite that causes localized pain or swelling.

Signs and Risks of a Centipede Infestation

Centipedes are typically solitary, but seeing one indoors often indicates favorable habitat conditions—such as excess moisture or a plentiful supply of other insects. Common signs of a centipede problem include:

  • Sightings of live centipedes, especially at night or in damp areas
  • Increased presence of other pests (centipedes feed on insects and spiders)
  • Shed exoskeletons in hidden spaces

While centipedes are considered beneficial predators because they help manage other pests, an unchecked infestation may signal underlying moisture issues or broader pest problems in your home.
