How do I get rid of house centipedes?

What Orkin Does

If house centipedes become a problem, the best course of action is to seek the advice
and assistance of your pest management professional (PMP).

Inspection: Your PMP will perform an inspection and determine the most likely sources of the population.

Traps: He or she might set out some sticky traps to monitor for their activity,
but will certainly advise the homeowner on what can be done to reduce moist conditions
and upgrade exclusions for possible and actual points of entry.

Remove Clutter: Outside recommendations will include removing clutter that
serves as house centipede habitat.

Kill Other Pests: Eliminating other insect species from the home is an effective control strategy
because centipedes depend on insects and other arthropods for food. For this reason,
it’s very important to identify other pests inside houses and buildings and target
those pests using both non-chemical and chemical control methods as appropriate for the situation.

Since every building or home is different, your Orkin Pro will design
unique treatment program for your situation. Orkin can provide the right solution
to keep house centipedes in their place…out of your home, or business.
