Centipede Care
Pest Care Guide
About This Pest
Why They're Here
Centipedes are actually predators — they come inside following the smaller insects they eat. If you're seeing centipedes, it usually means there are other tiny pests providing a food source.
What to Watch For
Fast-moving, many-legged insects in bathrooms, basements, or other damp areas — usually spotted at night.
Our Natural Approach
Targeted Treatment
We use targeted, least-toxic treatments — botanical and mineral-based as the primary approach — to address the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Our approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes.
Family-Conscious Formulas
Our primary toolkit is botanical and mineral-based, formulated to minimize risk to your family and pets. No synthetic pyrethroid sprays. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt (essential-oil based) or EPA-registered minimum-risk pesticides (silica gel, borate).
How You Can Help
- Reduce moisture with dehumidifiers and proper ventilation.
- Seal cracks and gaps around the foundation and basement windows.
- Address other small insect issues to remove their food source.
- Remove leaf litter and debris from around your foundation.
Family & Pet Considerations
Our treatments use botanical and mineral-based products to minimize risk to your family — children and pets included. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt or EPA-registered minimum-risk. If we ever recommend an EPA-registered escalation product, we'll show you the label and explain it before applying.
