Why Centipedes & Millipedes Invade

Centipedes follow their food, sneaking into homes through cracks, gaps, and drains in search of insects. They thrive in moist, secluded areas and are most active at night.

What about millipedes? While less alarming, millipedes often show up in the same places—especially after rain. They’re slower, scavenging plant material instead of hunting insects, but seeing large numbers can still be a nuisance.

Centipede & Millipede Treatment FAQ

Are centipedes dangerous to my family or pets?

Most centipedes you’ll find in your home aren’t dangerous. Their bites can sting a bit, similar to a bee sting, but they typically prefer hiding over confrontation.

Why do I have centipedes in my bathroom or basement?

Centipedes seek damp, dark places, making bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms ideal spots. Reducing humidity and sealing entry points helps limit their presence.

What’s attracting centipedes into my home?

Centipedes are hunters. They follow insects and spiders into homes, so controlling other pests is a key step toward eliminating centipedes.

What’s the difference between centipedes and millipedes?

Centipedes have flatter bodies, one pair of legs per body segment, and move quickly. Millipedes have rounded bodies, two pairs of legs per segment, move slowly, and curl into a coil when disturbed. Centipedes can bite if threatened, while millipedes are harmless but may emit an unpleasant odor.
