What if you have centipedes in your apartment?

Millipedes in the apartment - this is a pretty unpleasant phenomenon. These insects have a very long sinuous body, consisting of segments and numerous legs, the first pair of which are jaws capable of grinding food. It is necessary to struggle with such "neighbors", first of all, for aesthetic reasons. For a person, they are harmless.

Habitat and diet

They feed on these nasty insects with various small flies, bugs. Favorite places of their dwelling are raw premises, gardens and kitchen gardens, tree roots. By the way, no other centipede has caused the slightest harm to any tree, take it to note!

What harm is there from them?

The most unpleasant thing in this whole story is that often the centipedes live in an apartment (photo 1, 2) of a person. Moreover, you can see them there only at night. Fortunately, they do not bite or attack us, but we do not want to see them in our house anyway. That's why they still need to drive out of our home!

How to get rid of centipedes in an apartment?

First you need to equip yourself with a special tool to combat dampness, gauze (or mesh), an aerosol, designed to combat creeping insects, gel or crayons from cockroaches. All this arsenal is frightened by a forty-odd insect. The centipede in an apartment is in most cases the result of constant dampness! That is why before you remove these insects, you need to get rid of the damp in the basement. It is advisable to install end-to-end ventilation.

Millipedes in the apartment of a multi-storey building, basically, appear from mines passing through the bathroom and toilet. It is from there that these creeps creep out at night. Imagine, you turn on the light at night, and there ... In general, so that this does not happen, it is necessary to put a special mesh on the ventilation shaft, treating it with a pre-prepared means against insects. Remember: this procedure will have to be repeated every day.

Treat insecticide against all cracks, corners and skirting in the apartment. Do not forget about the basements (if any), namely the walls, on which there can also be centipedes.

In the apartment work in a respirator, glasses and gloves. All family members and pets should be isolated for the duration of the treatment. Pack all your things (utensils, clothes, children's toys) in sealed bags. In addition to spray, use gel or crayons against cockroaches, because they are hated and millipedes. In an apartment with these facilities, process the same corners, skirting boards and all available slots.

Remember that the centipedes are not affected by any cockroach bait, because these insects do not eat the same foods as humans. As mentioned above, these creatures prefer flies, ants and other small insects.
