🕷️⚡ Pest Highlight: House Centipedes
Fast, creepy-looking, and always unexpected, house centipedes are a common sight in basements and bathrooms.
Here’s what homeowners should know:
🔹 They thrive in moist, humid areas like basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces
🔹 They actually feed on other pests like spiders, ants, and roaches, so their presence may indicate existing pest activity
🔹 Their lifespan can be surprisingly long for an insect, living up to several years indoors
While they’re not dangerous to humans, most people don’t want them running across the floor at top speed 😅
💡 Pro tip: Reduce moisture, fix leaks, and keep areas dry to make your home less inviting.
