Brooks Pest Control provides reliable, eco-friendly centipede removal for homes and businesses throughout the West Coast. Our licensed experts find the root cause of your centipede problem and eliminate it — guaranteed.
Centipedes are predators. They eat spiders, cockroaches, silverfish, and other bugs — so if centipedes keep showing up, your home almost certainly has a secondary pest problem feeding them. DIY sprays kill the ones you see but do nothing about the moisture, entry points, or prey insects that keep attracting more.
That's why effective centipede control means addressing the moisture, sealing entry points, and eliminating the prey insects they're hunting — not just surface treatment.
The most common indoor species; fast, nocturnal, found in basements and bathrooms
4–7 inches; painful bite; enters Southern California homes during extreme heat
Common outdoors under rocks and leaf litter; moves inside during dry spells
Found in crawl spaces and garages with higher moisture
Bright red; notably painful bite with burning sensation
Our technicians are trained to identify species common to California, Oregon, and Washington — because the approach changes based on what's driving the problem.
Addresses the root cause — moisture, entry points, and secondary pest populations.
Eco-friendly and pet-safe methods that protect your family and the environment.
Treats hidden breeding areas in wall voids, crawl spaces, and beneath slabs.
Guaranteed results and free re-treatments if centipedes return.
Centipedes don't damage structures, fabrics, or food. But their presence reliably signals other pest problems and moisture issues that can cause property damage if left unaddressed.
All centipedes can bite. Smaller species rarely break skin, but larger species like the tiger and fire centipede deliver painful bites comparable to bee stings — with swelling that can last hours to days.
The real cost is what centipedes point to. Untreated moisture problems lead to mold, wood rot, and attract other pests. Repeated DIY spending adds up without solving the underlying issue.
Early detection and professional treatment save time, money, and protect your home's structure.
From house centipedes in your bathroom to fire centipedes in your crawl space, we've seen it and we've solved it. Eco-friendly treatments, same-day service, guaranteed results.
