Insecticide For House Centipedes
Centipedes don’t really leave any evidence that indicates they are in your home. Instead of building a nest, they find a new hiding place each day. You are most likely to accidentally find a house centipede resting on a wall, darting out from their hiding place, or trapped in a sink or tub.
To get rid of centipedes in your home, thoroughly clean damp areas of your house, like the basement, bathroom, or attic and remove their hiding places. You can kill centipedes you find with Ortho® Home Defense Max® Indoor Insect Barrier with Extended Reach Comfort Wand®. The product can also be used to create a barrier of protection around door and window casings and along baseboards. To control centipedes hiding in tight places, use Ortho® Home Defense® Insect Killer for Cracks & Crevices. You can also simply vacuum up centipedes when you find them, then seal and dispose of the vacuum bag to keep them from escaping.
How do I prevent future centipede problems?
To help prevent future centipede problems inside your home, there are several things that you can do.
• Reduce moisture. Centipedes prefer moist, high humidity environments to live. To eliminate these areas, repair water leaks, use dehumidifiers to keep basements dry, and run exhaust fans in bathrooms and attics to help eliminate excess moisture.
• Remove clutter. Centipedes will seek out spaces that provide protection. Reducing clutter in basements, crawlspaces, and attics will limit their ability to hide. Outside, move pile of leaves, grass clippings, and firewood away from the house.
• Eliminate their food source. Controlling other insects and spiders inside your house will also control centipedes since their diet consists of insects and spiders.
• Seal entryways. Seal holes, cracks, and gaps around the outside of your house to keep centipedes and other insect pests from getting inside. Repairing tears in screens and adding weather stripping to doors and windows also helps keep unwanted pests out.
• Create a barrier. Apply Ortho® Home Defense® Insect Killer for Indoor & Perimeter to door and window casings, along baseboards, and outdoors around the perimeter of your house to create a barrier that helps keep unwanted pests out.
Insecticide For House Centipedes
Centipedes are a common pest in the home. They can be found throughout the United States, although they are more common in the southern states. These creatures can come into your house through cracks and crevices, as well as through open doors or windows. Once inside, they can hide in and underneath furniture, baseboards, and appliances such as refrigerators or stoves.
The adult insecticide for house centipedes is available at most hardware stores or home improvement stores. The product comes in a spray bottle that contains an insecticide in a liquid form. The insecticide is made from pyrethroid chemicals that are safe for humans but harmful to insects such as centipedes which have chitinous exoskeletons. Apply the liquid to areas where you have seen the insects enter or exit your home (such as cracks and crevices) to kill them before they can make it inside your living space.
