High Desert Pest Control
Centipede Control
Centipedes turn up in garages, bathrooms, and around the foundation. They hunt other insects, so a centipede problem usually means there's a food source — other pests — to deal with too.
Call Now — (442) 437-8396Signs of a centipede problem
- Centipedes in garages, basements, or bathrooms
- Activity in damp areas and around the foundation
- Other insect activity nearby (their food source)
How we handle it
We treat harborage and entry points and knock down the insects centipedes feed on, removing both the pest and the reason it showed up.
Free spot treatments
See a centipede between your regular visits? We come back out and re-treat — free.
How centipedes get inside
- Damp foundation cracks and floor drains
- Gaps around plumbing entries in garages and laundry rooms
- Window wells and basement vent screens
- Following other insect traffic indoors — centipedes go where the food is
When they're most active
Centipedes are most active in spring and fall when soil moisture is high. Peak summer drives them deeper into walls and crawlspaces; they re-emerge as temperatures cool.

A few quick things you can do today that'll make any treatment — ours or your own — work better.
