Millipede & Centipede Pest Control in Springfield & Kansas City, MO

House Centipedes (Scutigera coleoptrata)
Long-legged, fast-moving, gray-brown body with dark stripes, very distinctive appearance. Predators — they eat other insects, spiders, and small bugs. Beneficial in the sense that they reduce other pest populations. Often startling because of their speed and many legs but typically harmless to humans (bite is rare and mild). Found in damp areas — basements, bathrooms, utility rooms. Their presence usually means there are OTHER insects they’re feeding on — treating those underlying pests reduces centipede numbers.

Why do I have millipedes or centipedes in my home?
Millipedes and centipedes are usually attracted to moisture. They often show up in basements, bathrooms, crawlspaces, utility rooms, and other damp areas. Millipedes may enter after heavy rain or when outdoor conditions become too dry, while centipedes may appear when there are other insects for them to feed on.
