If you frequently see centipedes, it may be worth checking for excess moisture, poor ventilation, or hidden water leaks.
There May Be Other Insects Present
One surprising fact about centipedes is that they are predators.
They feed on many household pests, including:
- Cockroaches
- Ants
- Silverfish
- Spiders
- Termites
- Small flies
Because centipedes follow their food source, spotting one can sometimes indicate that other insects are present in the home, even if you haven’t noticed them yet.
