Centipedes in Arizona
- Centipedes in Arizona neighborhoods are usually in landscaping areas with high moisture, but will enter homes {usual places inside have moisture and are often in: kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and around potted plants} feeding on bugs like flies and spiders, etc.
- Being bitten by one is painful and may swell, but it’s not lethal.
- They 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.
- They are carnivorous and get most of their moisture needs from their prey.
- They are nocturnal, or active during the night.
