House Centipedes are common pests found inside homes and businesses.  They are harmless but they do eat other pests so if you see a lot of centipedes, it could be a sign you have another pest infestation.  Centipedes hang out in dark damp locations during the day and come out at night to feed.  Common areas that house centipedes live are in and around sump pumps, under concrete slabs, in floor drains, inside cement block walls, and any cool and damp location.

House centipedes are poisonous because they have venom that is stored in their front limbs, which is used to kill their prey.  If centipedes are disturbed, they are known to bite.  While their bites are not dangerous or fatal to humans, if they are startled their bites can be painful.  Centipede’s bites to humans will cause a red or swollen blotch of skin.
