Centipede Control

Centipede Facts

There are many types of centipedes found all around the world, and some can be quite intimidating. Fortunately, here in Northern California, the most common type you will likely find inside your home is the common House Centipede, which, although it looks intimidating with its many long legs, is not dangerous to humans. These unusual insects prefer to live in cool, damp places, which is why they are often found around the drains in bathrooms or in basements where moisture collects.

Centipede Treatment

Centipedes are nocturnal predators that hide by day and hunt at night. Often, people won’t even notice they have centipedes living in their home because they hide so well in places nobody looks, such as under the sink or in cracks in the floorboards. In summer, when the females lay their eggs, they become more active, and this is when most people become alarmed and reach out for help.

Though some centipede species are dangerous, the centipedes located in North America are generally not poisonous and do not pose a risk to people.

However, if you are being bothered by these many-legged pests, contact Fast Action Pest Control to schedule a free inspection.
