heartlessevil,

You could move from a house to a cabin, trailer, or cave. Then you only have to deal with cabin centipedes, trailer centipedes and cave centipedes. But the house centipedes will be a thing of the past.

trachemys,

Borax tablets. Just hide them around on the floor. Don’t do this if you have loose pets that might eat them.

fubo,

House centipedes are predators. They're only there because there's food for them to eat — prey animals that they are hunting.

Now, what are their prey animals? Here's some critters that house centipedes eat:

  • Cockroaches
  • Termites
  • Bedbugs
  • Silverfish
  • Ants

You have house centipedes because you have these.

The centipedes are eating them.

Now, what was it you wanted to get rid of?

CowsLookLikeMaps,

Thank you for your explanation! I feel a tiny bit better about them now despite constantly being startled by a massive one in the sink, etc.

The only bug I've seen is small spiders and the occasional but very rare silverfish or pill bug. We certainly don't have cockroaches or bed bugs. Is it feasible to get rid of their food source or is that a lost cause?
