House Centipedes: What to

House centipedes are long, slender, segmented arthropods with many legs. They are typically brown or gray in color and have long antennae. House centipedes are found in moist, cool areas, such as basements, bathrooms, and crawlspaces. They are also found outdoors under rocks, logs, and in mulch.

House centipedes are not considered to be dangerous, but they can bite if they are threatened. Their bites are not usually harmful, but they can cause a mild stinging sensation.

House centipedes can be a nuisance, but they can also be beneficial. They help to control populations of other insects, such as spiders, cockroaches, and silverfish.

If you have a problem with house centipedes, there are a few things you can do to get rid of them:

* Seal any cracks or holes in your foundation and walls.

* Keep your home clean and dry.

* Remove any clutter from your basement, bathroom, and crawlspace.

* Place sticky traps in areas where you have seen house centipedes.

* Use a pesticide that is specifically designed to kill centipedes.

If you have a severe infestation of house centipedes, you may need to contact a pest control company.
