Exclusion: Once we have identified the areas where centipedes are most likely to be found, we will seal off these areas to prevent them from entering your home. We will also seal any cracks and crevices in your home to prevent centipedes from getting in.
Treatment: After we have sealed off the areas where centipedes are most likely to be found, we will treat your home with a residual insecticide. This will kill any centipedes that come into contact with it and prevent new centipedes from entering your home.
Monitoring: After we have treated your home, we will continue to monitor it to make sure that the centipedes are gone. If we find any centipedes, we will retreat your home at no additional cost to you.
