Centipedes

What are Centipedes?

Flat, many legs, fast. House centipedes are yellowish to brown with long legs. They hunt other bugs.

Are they dangerous?

The first pair of legs works like fangs. A pinch can feel like a bee sting. Venom is not a medical emergency for most people. They eat other pests.

What causes them?

Damp basements, crawls, closets, mulch, and rotting logs.

Signs in the house

A fast many-legged runner on a basement floor.
