Centipede Control NYC
House centipedes are one of the most common creepy-crawlies in NYC apartments. While they actually prey on other pests like roaches and spiders, many homeowners find them alarming. Their presence often indicates underlying moisture or pest issues. Treatment addresses centipedes directly while also targeting the prey insects that attract them.

Centipede Control — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about centipede control in New York City, including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does centipede control cost?
Centipede treatment in NYC costs $125-$275. Since centipedes often indicate other pest problems, comprehensive treatment addressing underlying issues may cost $200-$400.
Are house centipedes dangerous?
House centipedes can bite but rarely do, and their venom is not medically significant for most people. They're actually beneficial predators that eat cockroaches, spiders, and other pests. However, we understand most people don't want them in their home.
Why do I have so many centipedes?
Centipedes indicate two things: moisture and prey insects. They need high humidity and feed on other bugs. If you're seeing lots of centipedes, there's likely an underlying pest population and a moisture issue worth addressing.
Do centipedes mean I have other pests?
Usually yes. House centipedes are predators — they feed on cockroaches, silverfish, spiders, and other insects. A large centipede population suggests a healthy population of prey insects that should also be treated.
How do I keep centipedes out of my apartment?
Reduce humidity, seal cracks around baseboards and utility penetrations, use bathroom exhaust fans, and address underlying pest problems. Professional perimeter treatment creates a barrier that deters entry.
