If you’ve seen a centipede zip across your bathroom floor or vanish behind the baseboards before you could grab a tissue, you’re not alone. In homes across Ontario, these fast-moving pests are an unwelcome surprise. Though they don’t pose a threat to your health, spotting one often hints at a larger issue, as centipedes thrive in environments where they have access to other pests like ants, spiders, and cockroaches.
At TruTech Pest & Wildlife Control, we understand how unsettling these encounters can be. Our expert team delivers fast, effective centipede extermination that tackles the problem at its source. Whether it’s your basement, laundry room, or bathroom that’s become a centipede hotspot, we’ll help you take back control of your home.
Signs of a Centipede Problem in Your Home
Common Areas Where House Centipedes Hide
House centipedes are nocturnal and often prefer dark, damp environments. You’re likely to spot them in areas where there’s moisture in your home, such as bathtubs, sinks, drains, basements, and baseboards. If you notice them in multiple areas of your home, this might be a sign of a deeper pest issue requiring professional pest control for centipedes.
Visual Traits and Movement Patterns of Centipedes
House centipedes are easy to identify thanks to their unique appearance. With long, slender bodies that can reach up to 15 cm and numerous legs that propel them swiftly across surfaces, they’re hard to miss. Their rapid, darting motion along walls and floors often catches the eye—and makes them difficult to catch.
What Frequent Sightings May Be Telling You
Seeing a centipede now and then, though unsettling, might not be a cause for alarm. But if you’re spotting them regularly or during the daytime, it’s likely a sign of a bigger infestation. It can also point to an infestation of another pest, as centipedes feed on ants, cockroaches, and other common domestic pests. If centipedes are making repeat appearances in your kitchen, bathroom, or basement, it’s time to reach out to TruTech for reliable centipede control.
Benefits of Professional Centipede Removal Services
Thorough Inspections and Customized Treatment Plans
Our trained technicians begin with a thorough inspection of your home, identifying entry points and common hiding spots. They’ll also assess any conditions that might be encouraging the infestation, such as excess moisture or the presence of other pests. Based on their findings, we’ll create a customized treatment plan that provides targeted pest control for centipedes.
Effective Elimination of Hidden Centipede Populations
Centipedes thrive in dark, tucked-away corners of your home, such as behind walls, under baseboards, or deep in basement cracks that you rarely see. These hiding spots make DIY solutions ineffective. That’s why TruTech uses advanced tools and proven treatments designed to reach into those difficult areas and eliminate the source of the problem. This precise, focused approach is what makes our centipede extermination service so effective.
