Centipede Pest Control in Southern Utah

If you’ve ever seen a centipede around your St. George home, you know they are hard to forget. These insects have many pairs of legs and worm-like bodies, and their appearance is quite creepy. While seeing a centipede every couple of years might not be a big deal, they can become a problem if they’re invading your property on a regular basis.


Luckily, centipedes are mostly considered a nuisance pest. They are carnivorous and eat other insects, but they don’t harm people or pets. While they might not hurt you, they are still unpleasant to have around your Southern Utah home.


When you see centipedes or any other creepy pest crawling around your home or yard, Red Rock Pest Control is on standby and ready to help you deal with them. We provide comprehensive prevention and eradication services, so give us a call today for help with centipede problems. Reach out to get a quote!

Centipede Prevention Tips

While centipedes might not be the most fearsome pest out there, you likely don’t want to deal with an infestation. At Red Rock Pest Control, we offer comprehensive pest control plans that keep centipedes and other pests away. And, if you have a current infestation, we can remove the centipede issue and ensure they don’t come back.

But, it’s also helpful to know some overall centipede prevention tips to keep these many-legged creatures from becoming an issue. Here are some ways you can keep centipedes at bay:

  • Remove yard debris: Centipedes love humidity and usually live outdoors, so remove their habitat by keeping your yard clear of leaf piles, mulch, and other build-up around the yard.
  • Seal up your home: You can make it harder for centipedes to get indoors by installing door sweeps and weather stripping. Also, seal up any holes in the walls and foundation.
  • Decrease humidity inside the home: Because centipedes need humid environments to thrive, you can reduce the risk of an infestation by removing excess moisture from your home and yard. Be sure to repair leaky faucets and use dehumidifiers in especially humid rooms.
  • Address other insect infestations: Because centipedes eat smaller bugs, ensure you keep up on all general pest prevention tips. And, if you have infestations of other small insects, contact Red Rock Pest Control for residential pest services.
