There’s nothing more terrifying than watching a house centipedes shoot across your floor and under your couch. It’s safe to say that most people are positively terrified of those creepy crawling house guests. House centipedes typically have 15 legs and can travel 1.3 feet per second, which explains why catching one of these bugs is nearly impossible.

The typical response to a house centipede probably involves a shoe to squash the bugger before it crawls under another piece of furniture. But like almost every other bug out there, this particular bug does have a purpose. And yes, that purpose is actually good.

House centipedes are known for killing pests in your house that are completely unwelcome. They kill roaches, moths, flies, silverfish, and termites. They use the two legs right near its head, which has been modified to carry venom, and their other legs to scoop up the bug. This is called a “lassoing” technique where they jump on their prey and wrap them up with the rest of their legs.

Not only are house centipedes killing the bugs you really don’t want in your house, they also don’t create any type of nests or webs as well. They are considered active hunters and are constantly looking for their next prey. They aren’t eating your wood they aren’t carrying a fatal disease. House centipedes just want to go after the bugs.

If you want to get rid of house centipedes for good, the trick is to get rid of the food they source on. Try to get rid of the househood pests that they prey on. You can do this by making sure there isn’t extra moisture in your walls by using a dehumidifier or installing a fan in the bathroom. Seal off any cracks entering the house so pests don’t have places to lay eggs, and make sure to clear your house of any debris that is causing unnecessary moisture to leak into your walls.

Once you’ve made these switches, implement these 26 tips for controlling pests in and around your home so you don’t have to come across one of those scary-looking house centipedes ever again.
