Centipedes are fast-moving, predatory pests that can invade homes, feeding on other insects but occasionally biting humans if threatened.
Exterminating centipedes is no simple task. The average length of a centipede is anywhere from 2-6 inches, and they can be found in almost every environment within the continental US. For example, in Hawaii, we have over 6,000 different species of insects and arachnids. In order to effectively exterminate centipedes, we must first understand their habits and habitats. Centipedes are carnivores, feeding on small invertebrates like crickets and moths. They do not usually pose a threat to human health as they are not poisonous; however, it is still important to exterminate centipedes as they may cause harm to humans indirectly by creating messes within homes or invading food sources (such as bananas).
In order to exterminate centipedes, we must first determine if the infestation is localized or widespread. Localized infestations are common in homes, where centipedes are typically found in basements or crawlspaces. These areas are dark and damp, making them great hiding places for these pests.
