Why Centipedes Often Show Up in Damp Areas

Centipedes can be unsettling to find indoors, but their presence often points to environmental conditions that support other small pests as well.

Moisture Matters

Basements, bathrooms and utility rooms can provide the damp conditions centipedes prefer.

They Feed on Other Pests

Centipedes are predators. Recurring activity may indicate there are other insects available as food.

Reduce the Conditions

Repair leaks, improve ventilation where appropriate and reduce clutter in damp storage areas.
