How do I control house centipedes?

Question: I have centipedes in my house. I see them mostly in the spring and summer but occasionally during the winter months, as well. I had assumed they got into my house through the sink or tub drains. Can these be controlled?

Answer: Centipedes move fast and can be scary; however, they will not harm you unless you handle them. As centipedes are predators, one of the best ways to control them is by controlling their prey. A good general Pest Control Program can be especially beneficial.
