How do I get rid of Texas Redheaded Centipede

TREATMENT

How do I get rid of Tex redheaded centipedes?

What You Can Do

Controlling the Texas redheaded centipede may require both chemical and non-chemical means.
Some effective control methods include:

Reducing centipede habitat and preventing entry into homes by keeping compost piles,
firewood, rock piles or fallen logs away from the home or removing them entirely.

Rather than using thick mulch beds, place a 12-24 inch band of gravel or stone around
the perimeter of the home. If mulch is preferred, rake the mulch bed every 4-6 weeks to allow it to dry out.

Sealing any holes, crack or gaps in the foundation wall and repair or replace any damaged weather stripping.

Since centipedes need moisture, ventilate crawl spaces and use dehumidifiers
to enable airflow and reduce humidity.If necessary, your pest management professional
may use a chemical product spray or dust around the foundation or other locations
that centipedes may use to venture inside.

If centipedes are seen inside, your pest management professional may use approved,
registered chemical products in places such as cracks and crevices, wall voids or other hidden,
sheltered places that centipedes may occupy.
