What Are Centipedes?
Centipedes come in a variety of sizes ranging from one-eighths of an inch to 6 inches in length. Because of their names, centipedes can easily be assumed to have 100 legs, but the number actually ranges from 30 to 354 individual legs. The most common form of centipede throughout New Castle and the nearby areas is known as the house centipede, and it has a distinct black and yellow striped body. These pests can be found invading homes all across Delaware and throughout the surrounding states.
Are Centipedes Dangerous?
At first glance, a centipede gives off the appearance of being a dangerous apex predator. In reality, however, centipedes are capable of inflicting a bite about as painful as a bee sting and do not normally pose any major health risks. That said, their bites can be more dangerous to allergic individuals. We recommend consulting with your doctor to find out just how a centipede bite would affect you.
Why Do I Have Centipedes In And Around My Property?
By nature, centipedes are drawn to dark and damp areas and may invade your home or business to find damp, secluded spaces. These pests are also drawn into properties by the food they hunt; this happens at night where centipedes will emerge from hiding to search for insects such as silverfish, cockroaches, or carpet beetles.
