Centipede Exterminators
No matter where they are on the globe, centipedes always gravitate to a moist "micro-habitat" because their thin outer layer causes them to lose water quickly. Cellars, closets, bathrooms, attics (during the warmer months) and unexcavated areas under the house are all potential prime locations for centipedes to make their home. Centipedes can also be found in damp outdoor areas – beneath leaves, stones, boards, tree bark, or in mulch around outdoor plantings. It is important to note that these are also the locations centipedes prefer to lay their eggs.

Do You Need Centipedes Removal Services?
Centipedes are generally harmless to humans with the exception of larger centipedes whose forcipules (the modified pair of front legs found only on centipedes) can pierce the skin and inject a venom. When this occurs, the venom they inject can cause a number of unpleasant reactions including swelling, fever and even anaphylactic shock, though such bites are extremely unlikely to be fatal. Fortunately, most centipedes are small enough that their forcipules are too tiny to puncture human skin. These smaller centipedes do not cause damage to food supplies or household furnishings either, but their intimidating appearance can be viewed as threatening and it is perfectly normal for homeowners to wish to exterminate them.
