Centipede Extermination

Technica Centipede Solutions

Centipedes are moisture-loving pests that are commonly found in basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms, crawl spaces, utility rooms, garages, storage areas, and other damp or dark spaces. They are predators that feed on other small insects, spiders, and arthropods, so their presence can sometimes indicate that there are other pest activity or moisture conditions attracting them.

Centipedes usually hide during the day and become active at night. They may be found along baseboards, under sinks, around floor drains, near foundation cracks, in wall gaps, under stored items, or in unfinished basement areas. While centipedes can look alarming because of their many legs and fast movement, they are usually more of a nuisance pest than a serious threat inside homes and businesses.

Technica Pest Solutions provides centipede control by inspecting the areas where activity is being reported and identifying the conditions that may be supporting them. Our technician focuses on common harbourage and entry areas such as basement edges, crawl space access points, utility rooms, bathrooms, laundry areas, garage doors, foundation cracks, baseboards, door thresholds, window frames, and other damp or protected spaces.

Treatment is applied to targeted areas where centipedes are likely to hide, travel, or enter the building. This may include a professional exterior perimeter spray, interior crack-and-crevice treatment, baseboard treatment, and spot treatment around high-activity areas. The goal is to reduce active centipede activity while targeting the areas where they are moving and hiding.

Centipede control is most effective when treatment is combined with moisture reduction and pest reduction. Since centipedes are attracted to damp spaces and feed on other insects, we may recommend reducing humidity, fixing leaks, improving ventilation, sealing cracks and gaps, removing clutter from basement or storage areas, and addressing other insect activity that may be attracting them.

For homes and businesses, our centipede service is designed to reduce active activity, treat common entry and harbourage areas, and provide practical recommendations to help prevent centipedes from continuing to appear inside the property.
