The house centipede is a flattened, insect-like arthropod, greyish-yellow in colour with three dark longitudinal stripes. It reaches 2.5-3.5 cm in length. Each of the 15 body segments has a pair of white banded legs. The last pair of legs are much longer than the rest. Long, slender antennae are present on the head. The centipede has a pair of poison claws, used to immobilize prey, on the first segment. Centipedes prefer moist & dark environments such as basements or closets. They also live outdoors. The newly hatched larvae have four pairs of legs and by the sixth larval instar, fifteen pairs are present. They then undergo four more moults. Centipedes are generally considered beneficial since they feed on flies and other insects. We provide centipedes control services fast and in timely manner in Calgary and area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Centipedes Control in Calgary
Where do centipedes live? They live outdoors in moist locations where there are quantities of organic material. They will invade houses if the sub-floor, drains, basement, or bathroom areas are overly damp.
What do centipedes eat? They like to eat spiders, bed bugs, cockroaches, silverfish, carpet beetles, or ants. They act as predator and eat insects.
What is the main difference between centipedes & millipedes? Wormlike millipedes and centipedes both have many body sections and many legs. However, the centipede has a more flattened body and only one pair of legs per section, while the millipede’s body is rounded on top with two pairs of legs per section. Also, the centipede’s legs are much longer, allowing it to move more quickly. When disturbed, millipedes tend to coil up, but centipedes swiftly run for the closest dark hiding place.
Why I do have centipedes infestation at home? When outside of your house has lots of leaves piles, clutters and also damp conditions, these bugs congregate because they seek out dark, damp places with plenty of small crevices and cracks, like basements, garages, and mulched gardens. And they invade houses if the sub-floor, drains, basement, or bathroom areas are overly damp.
How can we get rid of this bug? It is best to reduce the source of infestation outside your home first. We can use also residual chemical as an exterior and interior perimeter spray treatment.
