Description
Centipedes are unsettling to find indoors, and they often show up in damp areas like basements, bathrooms, crawl spaces, and lower-level rooms. Since they feed on other insects, frequent centipede activity can also point to other pest pressure around the property.
Royal Pest Management provides centipede inspections and treatment options in Grand Rapids and throughout West Michigan. We can help reduce activity and identify conditions that may be attracting them.
Why Do I Have Centipedes?
Centipedes are usually drawn to damp, protected areas and places where other insects are available as food. Basements, bathrooms, crawl spaces, garages, and lower-level rooms are common problem areas.
Frequent centipede sightings can be a sign that moisture or other pest activity needs to be addressed.
How Do I Get Rid of Centipedes?
Centipede control works best when the conditions attracting them are handled along with the pests themselves. Royal Pest Management can inspect the problem areas, treat common hiding spots, and look for signs of moisture or other insect activity.
Reducing the food source and shelter usually gives better long-term results than treating centipedes alone.
How Do I Keep Centipedes Away?
To help keep centipedes away, reduce moisture, run dehumidifiers where needed, seal obvious gaps, and reduce other insects around the property.
A regular pest control plan can help keep the underlying insect pressure down.
