Five Things You Probably Did Not Know about Centipedes

One thing you probably already know is how creepy centipedes are. They look like they came straight out of a horror movie! However, did you know:

Even though these multi-legged creatures are scary when they greet you on the stairs or dark corners of your room, they rarely bite. Centipede pincers are not always even strong enough to penetrate human skin. However, no one wants to put up with an infestation of centipedes inside their home. So, in order to prevent them, you will need to block off all of the places they are entering your home, like cracks and crevices in your exterior walls, foundation, and window and door frames. You will want to repair or replace all damaged vents, screens, and vents as well. If you keep your house dry, centipedes will find your home less attractive, and the absence of other moisture-loving insects that they eat will also help. Of course, you will need to eliminate a current infestation too, and the best way to do that is with the help of professional pest control.

In Minnesota and Western Wisconsin, Adam’s Pest Control is here to help. We use EPA-approved treatment products and methods around your foundation and the exterior perimeter to stop centipedes from coming in. Additionally, areas indoors will be treated if necessary along baseboards, and in wall voids. If you are looking for a no centipede guarantee, look no further, the professionals at Adam’s Pest Control have effective solutions for your centipede and other pest pressures. Give us a call today!
