How to prevent and control centipedes

Centipede is a poisonous insect and one of the five poisonous insects. If you are bitten by a centipede and not treated in time, it may be life-threatening. Centipedes like to hide in people's homes. If you accidentally touch a centipede, you may be bitten. Centipedes can also drill into people's ears and bite the ear canal. Therefore, if a centipede gets into your home, you must find a way to kill it. Let’s find out how to prevent and control centipedes.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Centipedes enter the house often because the environment around the house is humid, which is suitable for centipedes to live. In some cases, centipedes enter human dwellings intentionally or accidentally. Therefore, it is best to plan and arrange the flower beds away from doors, windows and walls, and do not pile up debris close to the walls, so as to reduce the possibility of centipedes entering the house.

4. Centipedes often enter the room through gaps in doors, windows, walls, etc. 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.

The above is a detailed explanation and introduction on how to prevent and control centipedes. Under normal circumstances, you must clean the dark and damp places in your home to prevent centipedes from taking advantage of the opportunity to enter, and don't make the house too messy. Generally speaking, it is better to carry insecticide at home so that you will not panic too much when you encounter insects. But when catching centipedes, you must be careful not to catch them with your hands.
