It takes a professional to protect your home from these crawling creatures.
Centipedes and millipedes can be a nuisance for many homeowners. These crawling creatures are often found in damp and dark places, like basements, bathrooms, and garages. Although centipedes and millipedes are not typically dangerous to humans, they can still cause allergic reactions. We know that the thought of these pests crawling around your home can be enough to make anyone feel uneasy. Working with your local Terminix technician ensures that your family is protected from these creepy critters.
Millipedes won’t bite you, but they can emit a smelly fluid that might irritate your eyes or skin.
Most centipedes found around buildings rarely measure longer than 2 inches, but some in Texas and the southwest can be 6 inches or longer.
Millipedes are nature’s little recyclers. They are detritivores, meaning they feed on dead plants and animals.
Centipedes are nocturnal creatures that hunt down insects and spiders at night.
The house centipede is actually a beneficial creature, feeding on spiders and insects found within the home.
Though some people often mistakenly refer to it as “biting,” centipedes can pinch, injecting venom through scratching from modified front legs. And, while centipedes are venomous, the venom isn’t usually strong enough to seriously harm people.
