What's the matter with centipedes in the house

Centipedes are very common in our daily life. They are a kind of medicinal material and have very good effects in treating many diseases. However, most people do not like centipedes and may even be afraid of them. We usually see centipedes outside. If we see centipedes at home, it will definitely cause panic. The reason why they appear at home is also what everyone is concerned about. So, what is the matter with centipedes in the home? Let’s take a closer look below.

Centipedes like a humid living environment. Therefore, in order to reduce the chance of centipedes staying and living indoors, the room should be kept dry and windows should be opened more often for ventilation. If it is not possible to remove moisture through windows and doors, use a desiccant such as quicklime or an air dryer for dehumidification.

Centipedes like to live close to the ground, often hiding in caves or crevices. Therefore, once you find a centipede in your home, you should clean up the indoor debris. There should not be objects all over the floor. Try not to allow small gaps to form between the debris and the ground. Do not give the centipede a place to hide. It will naturally leave and find another place to hide.

Centipedes often enter the room through gaps such as doors, windows and walls. Centipedes are nocturnal creatures, so it is important to close doors and windows tightly at night. Especially in the hot summer, many people open doors and windows to keep cool at night, which can easily allow centipedes to enter the house. If there are cracks in the wall, be sure to block them.

In addition to the preventive measures mentioned above, the most direct method is to expel or kill them. Sulfur fumigation, pyrethroid fumigation, DDT fumigation and other drug killing methods can kill centipedes quickly and effectively. However, these drugs are toxic to humans and animals and are often not suitable for human living environments, only for houses such as unmanned warehouses.

Who doesn't want centipedes in their home? Why do centipedes appear in the home? It is mainly because the living environment meets the living requirements of centipedes, so they are attracted. Therefore, in order to better drive centipedes out of the door, we must have a general understanding of the habits of centipedes and take some targeted measures to prevent them from happening to people.
