Have you ever had an unwanted multi-legged guest scurry across your floor at the most unexpected times? If so, chances are you’ve met one of the least welcome neighbors in our community — the centipede. With their numerous legs and rapid movements, centipedes can certainly give us a bit of a scare. Their presence reminds us that our homes are part of a broader ecosystem, one that sometimes gets a little too close for comfort.
Our centipede control team understands the discomfort centipedes can cause, so we’ve worked hard to perfect our approach to remove them and prevent future infestations. With our local expertise and convenient service options, we’ll restore your peace of mind with minimal intrusion into your day-to-day life.
What Does Centipede Control Entail?
Overall, centipede control entails removing current inhabitants and implementing strategies to prevent future infestations. Centipedes are mostly nocturnal and prefer to hide in dark, damp places, making them hard to catch.
Many people attempt DIY solutions, but these can fall short or require ongoing effort. Centipede control services do the heavy lifting for you. Our expert team knows exactly where to look and what to do, bringing convenience and peace of mind straight to your doorstep.
Types of Centipede Treatment
You may have tried sprays, traps, or home remedies, but the challenge is not only to treat them but to keep them from coming back. Traditional solutions range from chemical treatments to natural deterrents, but these can be a hit or miss. Some DIY treatments may also be harmful to pets or children if not applied by a professional.
Here’s what you can expect from professional centipede treatment:
- Expert inspections

Common Centipedes in the Southeast
What kind of centipedes are you dealing with? The most likely species is the house centipede. They can be quite creepy with their many legs and quick movements, but the good news is they’re mostly harmless to humans. Yes, they can bite – but this only happens when people try to handle them. As long as you leave them alone, they won’t harm you. House centipedes are also excellent for all-natural pest control. Their diet consists of many common household pests, including ants, spiders, flies, and cockroaches.
