House Centipedes in Crown Point Homes

The house centipede is one of the most startling pests Indiana homeowners encounter — a long, flat insect with up to 30 legs that moves with surprising speed along walls and floors. They're predatory, feeding on spiders, cockroaches, silverfish, and other insects, which means a centipede problem often signals a broader underlying pest issue.

House centipedes require moisture to survive and breed in Crown Point basements, crawl spaces, and bathrooms where humidity is consistently high. Controlling centipedes involves both direct treatment and addressing the habitat that sustains them — reducing prey insects and lowering moisture levels. Our integrated approach targets both the centipede population and the conditions causing them to thrive.

FAQ — Centipede Control

Do house centipedes bite?
House centipedes can bite if handled but rarely do. Their venom is mild — typically causing brief, localized pain similar to a bee sting. Bites are extremely uncommon in normal household conditions.
Are centipedes a sign of a bigger pest problem?
Yes, often. House centipedes are predators that follow their prey — if you have an established centipede population, you likely also have cockroaches, silverfish, spiders, or other insects they're feeding on.
Why do I only see centipedes at night?
House centipedes are nocturnal, spending daylight hours hiding in moist, dark areas. They become active at night to hunt. Seeing one during the day often indicates the population is large and hiding spots are full.
What humidity level prevents centipedes?
House centipedes require high humidity to survive — they desiccate rapidly in dry conditions. Reducing basement and crawl space humidity below 50% using a dehumidifier dramatically reduces their ability to sustain a population.
Can I seal my home to prevent centipedes?
Yes. Sealing gaps around pipes, window wells, and foundation cracks reduces centipede entry significantly. However, because they're already living indoors in most infested homes, exclusion alone without treatment is insufficient.
