Centipedes are unwelcome pests that invade homes in search of moisture and insects to feed on. While they don’t pose a significant health risk, their rapid movements and unsettling appearance make them a nuisance for homeowners. Some species may also bite if handled, causing minor skin irritation. These nocturnal pests often hide in damp areas like basements, crawl spaces, and bathrooms, making infestations difficult to detect. Critter Stop’s Fort Worth centipede control services provide safe, effective, and long-term solutions to remove centipedes and prevent future invasions.
Centipedes prefer dark, humid environments and can remain hidden for long periods. Look for these signs to identify an infestation:
✔ Frequent Sightings – Seeing centipedes in basements, bathrooms, or crawl spaces, especially at night.
✔ Excess Moisture – Homes with high humidity, leaks, or poor ventilation create ideal conditions for centipedes.
✔ Other Pest Infestations – Centipedes feed on insects like spiders, ants, and cockroaches, so their presence may indicate a larger pest problem.
✔ Fast Movements Along Walls – Centipedes often scurry across floors or up walls when disturbed.
If you’ve noticed these signs, professional treatment is the best way to eliminate centipedes and prevent future issues.
