House centipedes hardly ever bother people. They are timid and like to live in your house without being seen. Even though they may not look very appealing, centipedes can bring numerous advantages to you and your house. They enjoy eating other small animals like spiders, flies, silverfish, earwigs, and others. Even if you see a centipede in your house, it's probably because they are getting rid of other bugs.
If you can't stand having a house centipede in your home, try not to kill them. Catch them with a napkin or cup and let them go outside. To avoid pests from entering your home, make sure to dry any wet areas and reduce clutter. Now that you have learned more about these usually harmless bugs, you might not scream as loudly next time you come across one!
