Fix Leaks: Centipedes love moisture, and leaky pipes or faucets provide the perfect environment. Check your home for any leaks, especially in basements, bathrooms, or crawl spaces. Fixing these will reduce the humidity that attracts centipedes.
Seal Entry Points: Centipedes are small and agile, slipping through even the tiniest cracks. Do a thorough inspection of your home, and look for gaps around doors, windows, and the foundation. Seal them up to keep centipedes and other pests from making their way in. Tight-fitting screens and weather stripping also help keep them outside where they belong.
Maintain Your Yard: Centipedes aren’t just lurking inside—they can come from the outside, too. Trim back overgrown plants, shrubs, and trees around your home’s foundation. These are prime hiding spots. Avoid stacking firewood near your house, as it can invite pests to sneak in through the cracks
At Green Shield Pest Pros, we do not just chase centipedes around, we address the conditions that attract them and help keep them from coming back. Here is how we make it happen:
We begin with a detailed inspection to identify where centipedes are hiding, how they are getting inside, and what conditions may be attracting them.
Your family, pets, and the environment matter to us. That is why we use products and materials designed to reduce centipede activity while protecting the health of your home.
Centipedes are drawn to damp, dark spaces and often thrive where moisture problems exist. We help identify the areas that may be encouraging activity, including basements, bathrooms, crawl spaces, and other humid environments.
We provide expert tips to reduce attractants, improve conditions around the home, and schedule follow-ups to help keep your space centipede-free.
We’ve built this plan to cover what matters: ongoing defense, adaptable service, and zero stress for you. It’s structured around your schedule, your layout, and the pest pressures in your part of Ohio. Here’s how it works:
We visit your property on a schedule that fits the local pressure and your home’s unique layout. These visits aren’t rushed. We take our time to check for signs of pest activity, apply targeted treatments, and reinforce protective barriers inside and out.
Every time we come out, we focus on where pest problems start, not just where they show up. That includes:
We apply products with precision, using professional-grade materials that hold up over time without disrupting your routine.
Still seeing something? Let us know. We’ll come back and treat again, for free. No delay, no upsell, no extra fees. We don’t limit how often you can call. If your space needs attention, we’re there.
Because you’re not just paying for someone to show up. You’re trusting a team to solve the problem and keep it from coming back. Here’s what makes us different:
We know exactly which pests are active in your neighborhood and how they behave.
Every visit is thorough, every treatment is intentional, and we take the time to do things right.
If you need us between visits, we’re easy to reach and fast to act.
We’ll never leave you guessing about what was done or what comes next.
Our materials are designed to last, break down safely, and, when applied correctly, be used around families and pets. We only use what your space needs!
Our work speaks for itself, and if pests come back, so do we!

This is protection you can feel good about: steady, effective, and built around what your home actually needs.
Centipedes are one of the pests covered under the standard general pest control plan, addressed alongside other common household pests during regular service.
All pest services include a 30-day re-treat guarantee. If centipede activity continues within that window, a technician returns to retreat the property.
Centipedes are predators that follow their food source indoors rather than entering on their own. Their presence typically points to existing insect or spider activity in damp areas of the home.
Sightings in basements, bathrooms, or other moist, dark areas of the home are the main indicator of activity. These sightings often occur alongside other small insect activity, since that's what centipedes are following into the space.
Centipedes found in Ohio homes are not considered dangerous to people. Their presence more often signals an underlying insect population they're feeding on rather than posing a direct risk on their own
