Centipede Control
Most people who find a Centipede in their home or yard wonder, “Are Centipedes poisonous?” The answer is yes.
Watch out for centipede bites! Centipedes have poisonous jaws and inject venom with them. Large centipedes, like the one pictured above, can break through human skin. Centipede bites are like a bee sting and cause pain and swelling. The bigger the centipede, the bigger the bite.
Centipede bites are painful and can swell, but they aren’t lethal. Centipede bites can be comparable to bee stings, and just like bee stings, allergic reactions can make reactions to centipede bites worse.
Pest Control
Centipedes are effectively controlled with Responsible Pest Control’s monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly pest control services. Centipedes seek moist areas, so eliminating (as much as possible) areas with high moisture around your home will help in controlling them. You can do this by removing thick mulch and ground covering around your home.
