Breezy vs. Centipedes
Our Breezy Pros bring more than just bug spray to the job. With world-class training, years of hands-on experience, and a sharp eye for damp hiding spots, they know exactly how to stop centipedes in their tracks. From scurrying across bathroom floors to hiding in crawlspaces, we’ve seen it all—and we know how to handle it fast. Best of all, we don’t just know bugs—we know people. That means you’ll get top-tier service and real results with every visit.
Winter is here. We're ready.
As the cold settles in, pests start looking for one thing: warmth — and they don’t mind crashing at your place to find it. From mice slipping in through gaps to spiders and overwintering bugs hiding in attics and wall voids, winter brings a whole new wave of indoor pressure. That’s why strong winter protection matters — and why our Breezy Pros stay ahead of the season. We know where pests hunker down, how they move when temps drop, and how to keep your home feeling exactly how it should: comfortable, calm, and pest-free.

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.
