How We Safeguard Your Home from Centipedes
What Are Centipedes?
Centipedes are fast-moving, nocturnal arthropods known for their long, segmented bodies and numerous legs—typically one pair per body segment. Common species, such as the house centipede, are frequently found in damp areas like basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces. While most centipedes are not dangerous to humans, their sudden appearance and rapid movement can be alarming. In rare cases, larger centipedes may deliver a mild bite that causes localized pain or swelling.
