How Do I Get Rid Of Centipedes Without Chemicals Or Money?
Monday, June 7th, 2010Among the most horrific creatures I have ever had the displeasure of having in my home (besides the in-laws… joking) are house centipedes. Spiny, creepy, and fast as can be, these things have almost stopped my heart on multiple occasions. I was luckily never stung by one, though I am certain that one of my daughters was while she slept. But the sheer “tingles down the spine” factor brought me to the conclusion that I had to get rid of centipedes without waiting another day!
In hindsight, I have no explanation of we lived with them as long as we did. More than six sightings a night (at least) was commonplace. I would even label it an all-out infestation. I hope you can’t relate, but if you can, then you too are likely feeling pretty desperate to get rid of centipedes fast!
Here’s the issue I was looking at. My kid was only 13 months old at the time, and both my wife and I agreed that using toxic chemicals throughout the house was simply not an option. As I’m sure you know, one-year-olds can cover a lot of ground, love to put things in their mouths, and are generally some of these least careful creatures walking the planet! So we grown-ups had to take all the precautions, and insecticides were definitely out.
In addition, we had heard time and time again that killing centipedes was only a short term solution, if even that. They would come back, and we knew it. It seemed fruitless to blow all of our money and put our family’s health in jeopardy - based on an approach to getting rid of centipedes that was flawed to begin with. Extermination doesn’t actually solve the problem, it just masks the symptoms.
Still, something had to be done. Luckily, we learned a way to get rid of house centipedes that was not only non hazardous, inexpensive, and fast, but also 100% permanent in nature! It came down to understanding the root cause of our centipede infestation, which is crazy simple, yet absolutely true. Here it is… the centipedes totally DUG our home! They loved it. They had plenty to eat and drink, and lots of comfortable hiding places to give them privacy and keep them safe.
For us, the answer was a no-brainer. We had to make it IMPOSSIBLE for them to live with us!
How did we do it? Simple, really. We learned about their diet and their overall tendencies. We dried up key “moist spots” throughout our home using a dehumidifier (though a typical house fan would have worked just fine), we sealed off little cracks around the baseboards using a bit of caulk. We did a number of extremely simple, yet very specific things that removed their food supply from our home (this solved all of our other bug problems, too!) We learned all the specifics in a powerful e-book, which was actually came highly recommended by friends.
Perhaps you are where I was, and are desperate to get rid of centipedes fast. All I can tell you is to not let that desperation lead you into a bad decision. From everything I’ve seen, extermination is a bad decision. By simply removing their food and water, and sealing off all the places in which they like to hide, sleep, and breed, you can get permanent results that begin to happen for you immediately.
