The House Centipede is easy to distinguish with its worm-like body and 15 pairs of legs (if you care to count them!). Centipedes are generally found in moist cellars, but appear in places such as bathrooms and closets as well. The centipede is a fast moving insect that kills its prey (insects) with its poison jaws. Colonial offers proven-effective centipede removal and extermination methods to rid your home of centipede infestation, as well as an ongoing exterior maintenance to keep them outside and away from your home.
