Centipedes

House Centipedes are easily recognized by their long, flattened bodies and many long, delicate legs. They are incredibly fast runners and active predators, typically hunting at night for other small insects. They prefer cool, damp environments like basements, crawl spaces, and bathrooms.

Although centipedes are actually beneficial in nature because they eat other pests, their startling appearance and erratic movements make them an unwelcome guest in any home. While rare, larger centipedes are capable of biting if handled, which can be mildly painful.

To eliminate centipedes, Eastline Pest Management takes a dual approach: we treat the centipedes directly and work to eliminate the underlying insect populations they are feeding on. By removing their food source, we ensure your home remains centipede-free.
