Centipedes are long, thin insects, with bodies stretching between 6mm and 50mm (1/5" to 2") in length. They are light brown in colour, and have many spotted legs. Centipedes are typically found in areas of high moisture, especially beneath loose bark or piles of leaves, grass, or mulch. They typically winter over outside, and lay their eggs in the soil in the summer, but will occasionally enter the house.nbsp;Centipedes feed on other insects, including other household pests.

Control of centipede infestations includes the removal of any breeding areas at the exterior of the house, and the treatment of both the exterior perimeter and the interior baseboards, window frames, and door frames. If you have a centipede problem in your home or place of business, call York Pest Control and we will look after it for you.
