Centipedes are unwelcome pests that thrive in damp, dark spaces like basements, crawl spaces, and bathrooms. While they don’t pose serious health risks, their fast movements and eerie appearance make them a nuisance. Some species can also bite when handled, causing mild irritation. These nocturnal pests enter homes searching for moisture and food sources, often indicating a larger insect problem. Critter Stop’s Arlington centipede control services use targeted treatments to eliminate infestations and implement long-term prevention strategies. Our professional team ensures your home remains pest-free and comfortable.
Centipedes are excellent at hiding, making them difficult to detect until their population increases. Watch for these signs:
✔ Frequent Sightings – Seeing centipedes along walls, in basements, or bathrooms, especially at night.
✔ High Humidity Levels – Excess moisture from leaks or poor ventilation creates an ideal habitat.
✔ Increased Insect Activity – A rise in spiders, cockroaches, or ants could indicate centipedes are nearby, as they feed on these pests.
✔ Rapid Movements – Centipedes move quickly across floors and walls when disturbed.
If you notice any of these signs, taking immediate action will help prevent a full-scale infestation.
