Comment on House Centipede – Scutigera coleoptrata by JonC.

House Centipede - Scutigera ColeoptrataYeah I certainly agree they’re creepy (but I still think they’re kind of cool in a weird way…) ghastly is a good description! I was a bit bummed out too when I found out it would be hard to get rid of them, my home is 100+ years old, so I’m sure they’ve been here forever. I should mention though, I used the Ortho Home Defense MAX that I mentioned somewhere else in the blog inside the house around openings and cracks and that kind of thing, even though I was going for the carpenter ants, primarily, it certainly reduced how often I see the centipedes by A LOT. I bet a professional exterminator could help reduce their numbers as well, while keeping your house safe to live in, but I don’t think you’ll ever be rid of them. If you do go with an exterminator, find one who has a lot of good references locally.
