Centipede Control
Centipede Exterminator in Colorado Springs
Sightings in basements, bathrooms, crawlspaces, utility areas, floor edges, and damp exterior zones can point to moisture and other insect activity.
Centipedes feed on other small pests. Repeated sightings may be connected to moisture, prey insects, and protected gaps rather than one isolated entry.
Centipede recommendations are based on evidence, moisture, supporting pest activity, entry conditions, access, address, and approved scope.
- Basement, bath, crawlspace, or utility area
- Moisture, drains, condensation, or leaks
- Spiders, silverfish, flies, or other prey insects
Moisture and Prey Evidence
Connect Centipede Sightings to Damp Areas and Other Insects
The affected rooms, time, moisture, prey activity, and corresponding exterior conditions help define the next step.
Report floor or wall edges, drains, plumbing, storage, humidity, and where repeated sightings occur.
- Room and surface
- Time and frequency
- Moisture or drains
Share other pest evidence in the same rooms or adjacent exterior areas, since available prey can support activity.
- Other insects present
- Webs or shed material
- Concentrated zones
Show damp mulch, leaf litter, stones, vegetation, cracks, thresholds, utility gaps, and drainage near affected rooms.
- Exterior side
- Cover and moisture
- Likely entry routes

How to Tell You Have Centipedes
The house centipede is the centipede most often seen indoors in Colorado Springs. It hunts other insects in damp, quiet spaces, so frequent sightings usually point to moisture and prey nearby.
Yellowish gray with long, thin legs along the whole body and very long antennae. Fast, and up to about an inch and a half long.
Sightings at night in basements, bathrooms and laundry rooms, often running across floors or walls and into gaps.
Damp, dark places such as basements, crawl spaces, floor drains, under stored boxes and behind baseboards.
Moisture plus a steady supply of insects to eat. Fewer prey insects usually means fewer centipedes.
What You Can Do Now

House Centipedes in Colorado Springs
What House Centipedes Tell You About Your Home
House centipedes hunt other insects and spiders. Seeing them regularly usually means there is enough prey and moisture to keep them fed, often in a basement, crawl space or bathroom.
They hide in dark, damp gaps during the day and come out at night. Floor drains, sump areas, unfinished basements and storage rooms are where they are found most.
Treating the centipedes without addressing moisture and the insects they feed on is why they keep coming back. A good plan handles both.
Answers Before Service
Centipede Control Questions
Review the common questions below, then call if your property or activity requires a different scope.
Why do other insects matter?
Centipedes are predators. Repeated activity can be supported by spiders, silverfish, flies, cockroaches, or other small insects in damp protected areas.
What moisture details should I provide?
Share leaks, condensation, drains, crawlspaces, humidity, damp storage, irrigation, and drainage near the affected area.
What should I photograph?
Send the centipede if safely possible, the full room or surface, nearby moisture or prey signs, and the corresponding exterior foundation area.
Can the work be quoted by phone?
A phone quote may be possible when the locations and scope are clear. Quotes are free by phone or text.
Are house centipedes dangerous?
They rarely bite people and are not considered a health threat. The concern is usually the nuisance and what their presence says about moisture and other insects.
Why do I see centipedes in the bathtub?
They wander in looking for moisture or prey and can get trapped on the smooth surface.
Do centipedes come from outside?
Some do, especially along foundations with mulch and damp soil. Others live indoors year round in basements and crawl spaces.
Will killing other bugs help?
Yes. Reducing the insects they feed on, along with moisture, is part of reducing centipede activity.
How much does centipede control cost?
Price depends on how widespread the activity is and the size of the home. Many quotes can be given by phone for free. Quotes are free by phone or text.
Do house centipedes bite people?
Bites are rare. They can bite if handled, and it feels like a mild bee sting for most people.
Can you come out the same day for centipedes?
When the schedule allows, yes. Call early in the day.
Why do I see more centipedes in fall?
As it cools outside, centipedes and the insects they hunt move toward the warmth of the house. Fall is a common time to see them indoors.
