Prevent It

Cut off centipedes before they crawl in.

Centipedes thrive in damp, dark corners where you least want them. We cut off their hiding spots and reinforce barriers each visit. Notice activity between visits? We’ll swing back—no charge, no hassle.

Stop it before it starts

Breezy vs. Centipedes

Fall is here. We're ready.

As the leaves start to fall, pests start planning their move indoors. From spiders and roaches to sneaky rodents, cooler temps bring all the wrong kind of houseguests. That’s why fall protection matters — and why our Breezy Pros are already one step ahead. We know the patterns, the hideouts, and how to keep your home feeling just the way it should: pest-free and easy.

Signs you've got centipedes.

Sightings

Quick flashes of long legs darting across the floor or bathroom walls are a telltale sign.

Other bugs

Centipedes hunt other pests—if you’ve got spiders, ants, or roaches, they may be close behind.

Moisture spots

Leaks, bathrooms, or damp crawlspaces are their favorite hangouts.

Musty smell

Heavy infestations can leave behind a strange, damp odor.

Helpful tips.

1. Seal entry points

Close up cracks, gaps, and openings around doors, windows, and foundations to keep centipedes outside.

2. Clean regularly

Vacuum corners, closets, and baseboards often—centipedes love cluttered, dusty hideouts.

3. Fix water leaks

Leaky pipes, damp basements, and dripping faucets make the perfect centipede hangout. Keep things dry.

4. Keep garbage sealed

Trash bins with tight lids help cut down on the insects centipedes feed on.

5. Reduce clutter

Clear out piles of boxes, clothes, and storage that create hiding spots indoors.

6. Trim vegetation

Trim back shrubs, rake leaves, and move mulch or woodpiles away from the home—centipedes thrive in damp yard clutter.
