People tend to take centipedes for insects, centipedes are not insects. They are arthropods and they feed on dead and decaying plants. Their bodies are divided into segments with each segment having just a pair of legs and the number of legs can vary from about 17 to 177. Centipedes are usually found outdoors where the moisture content is high under rocks, piles of decaying leaves, underneath your porches, and the like.
Centipede Extermination Factors
They sometimes can be found inside our homes in places like the bathroom, basements, and even your closets. When you have a centipede infestation in your house, it is advised you don’t try to do it yourself because centipedes have been known to bite when they feel threatened and their bites can be very painful.
Do it yourself is not only dangerous but is rarely effective at all. You can only carry out preventive measures so they don’t come back after fumigation. It does not effectively eliminate the pest, it just helps to ensure that your house is safe after fumigation.
Here are a few tips on preventing them from entering your house:
- Carrying out sanitation regularly to remove and reduce dampness from your bathroom, basements, and closet can help.
- Proper ventilation of these areas can also help in reducing their presence in your home.
- Getting rid of decaying leaves and keeping your surroundings neat and properly kept can also help.
