Hey… we live in a 100 year old house and we currently have fleas, centipedesd, spiders, stinkbugs, mice, 3 cats, 1 dog, and a 6-month old!!! Help! we’ve been putting off treating because we want to do it naturally. Glad I found this website!… But now I am getting bit by the fleas and I am allergic,… found a flea on the baby’s ear…. They must go immediately!!! AAAAAHhhh!

By Kim on Feb 28, 2010

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every year that it starts to get above 40 degrees, my eyes are peeled and my skin crawls with just the thought of these house centipedes!! I HATE these things! I have a kitty and a dog and have been afraid to use “pesticides” because of them. But these buggers have to go.. as well as the HUGE spiders that appear later in the summer. THe spiders are so bad that you cannot walk around in the yard from June to late fall. Their webs are so big as well as the spider that you get smacked in the face. They invade my porch with up to 6 or more huge, and I mean huge webs. Last year I was going to put my coffe in the micro and I almost had a heart attack when I saw one and its huge web in my dining room!!!! It must have come in thru the air conditioner. I NEED HELP…. I tried soaking cotton balls with peppermint oil and leaving the balls stuffed in cracks and running the oil itself around the edges of my counter top for the house centipede problem. Not working.. we got a humidifer for the basement that runs 24 hours a day.. helps a little till its a humid day. I am desperate, the house centipedes show up in every room in the house on every floor in the house.. If your product works and is safe for the cat too, as I read peppermint oil is toxic to cats, I will buy a case of the stuff!!
Need all your help in Connecticut..

Dear Kim,

Yikes, you’ve tried a lot to get rid of these things! If you are already following the suggestions in this article, time to try pesticides.

The Ant and Roach Killer is best and 100% safe to use around your cats. Just don’t let them ingest it.

Good luck!

We are getting centipedes in our house now every spring, spiders all year round and those orange lady bug looking things in the fall. We have 2 children and a cat so we’re leary of using anything, but my wife wants them gone because they “creep her out”. Any help would be great, especially if it won’t hurt the kids, the cat or us!

By Brett on Apr 26, 2010

I use this stuff, and it does a fairly good job of keeping these vile creatures out of the house. The draw back is I have to do it every 1.5 – 2 weeks. Sealing up entrances is also a good strategy.

This brand atually does work on bees to a point as well. I sprayed it on a hole bees are using to get inside my home, and they wouldn’t go in.

I would use this over the chemical kind any day.

By Chelsey on May 2, 2010

We recently moved into an older home split into 3 apartments and last month, my fiancee found a centipede in the bathtub!!! Then last week, another in the kitchen sink!!! Then today, as I was climbing into the shower, one was on the shower curtain! I ran out screaming! He killed it and on my way back into the bathroom (after working up the courage to be in there again) I saw another one! I am sick over it. I hate them to be around and I am afraid to sleep tonight or ever! We left for a while today, but as soon as we came back, I was scared out of my mind again! We would LOVE to try this product!

By Matt on May 15, 2010

We have house centipedes during the summer months. I’ll walk out into the living room in the pre-dawn morning and out of the corner of my eye I’ll see a dark form on the wall or ceiling. I can’t stand the things. (I’m trying not to look at the photos of them on this website.) Like others, we have small children, so using sticky traps isn’t an option unless the location is very inaccessible. We also want to avoid sprays that may harm the house’s non-insect residents. I don’t mind the fact that we have a few centipedes, as long as they stay out of sight. When I see them, I try to muster the courage to kill them, although they’re usually out of reach (and they make a mess when smashed). I’d really like to get rid of them, as well as the other insects that we see on occasion.

By Maria Walker on May 15, 2010

I live in Hawaii and we have very large centipedes here. we are starting to see them in the house and are looking for ways to get rid of them- their sting is more painful than a bee sting. this stuff sounds excellent since we won’t use any pesticides anywhere on our property.

By Missy on May 15, 2010

I have a problem with tiny black ants every year now for the past 7 years, plus I am getting a lot of spiders and now I am noticing centipedes too. I have 3 cats that bat them around and when I can catch them I throw them outside. I don’t want them in my house and I worry that my cats might eat them or get bitten by them and get sick. I also, have a canary and fish so I have to be very careful as to what I use. I would love to be a tester and try your product out. I want to avoid dangerous spray and love the fact that your product is natural. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

By Ann-Marie Chok on May 20, 2010

For the past month i have been experiencing some centipedes.I live in Jamaica and my house is unfinished which makes it worse.i have a baby and he doesn’t know about centipedes and i
am afraid that he will play with them and get stung.i would love to try out you product to get rid of them.please give me further information for this product.

By Teresa Pavoldi on May 23, 2010

I’m so happy to know we’re not alone! I dread the warm weather and the appearance of these horrible creatures in our home. It used to be we would see a few a season, but now, since we had a pipe burst in the basement, it’s almost nightly. I woke up to my 19 year old screaming last night – she saw 3 of them in the bathtub! I cannot describe how much we hate them. I’m off to buy sticky traps, but would love to try your product as well. We can’t use chemicals because my daughter is ill. Thanks so much!

By Brandi on May 24, 2010

We started getting these horrible looking centipedes in our house when the weather started warming up. I usually see them in our downstairs bathroom and in the den. I have been looking for something we can use that is safe and not harmful to my 3 children and our cat. I have heard some good things about Ecosmart products and am looking so forward to trying it and even more hopefully getting rid of these creepy looking bugs. Thanks You in advance!!!

By MONICA on May 26, 2010

last night my husband woke me up to ask me a question and there was this centipede on the bed(an air mattress on the floor) i have not seen any of these creatures before inside. ihave seen them outside but this was inside upstairs, is this common? also this was not the normal silver centipede you see inside.

By EcoSMART Jocelyn on May 29, 2010

Hi Monica,

Finding a centipede in your home is unfortunately common. House centipedes enter the home to avoid bad weather and scurry around in usually dark places.

EcoSMART’s Ant and Roach Killer takes out most crawling insects, including centipedes!

By Nancy Jay on Jun 11, 2010

This is a very icky creepy story of a centipede in my bed. I live in an old house in Albuquerque. I had seen an occasional centipede in the house and had usually “drowned” them in that horrifying Raid stuff. One night I was dreaming about being waxed on my legs and then on my arms. As I was dreaming this I must have awakened to that in between state and I tried to scratch at the tweezing feel of my dream. Then I felt a very big “tweezing” feeling up around my shoulder so I swept my hand on my shoulder area and felt something there. I awaked to see I had just flicked off a HUGE 6 inch (yes I measured him after I had finally killed him). Of course I jumped out of bed and then had the horrifying task of getting him out of my sheets. Once that was accomplished I had to quickly find something with which I could chase him around the room and finally cornered him in my closet. I drowned him in Raid and then took a photo with a ruler added to prove to my family that I had indeed had this experience. I did suffer a big red welt on my clavicle and I don’t sleep in that room anymore! A nontoxic and better smelling alternative would be great. I’d love to be a tester for you.

By Amanda on Jun 30, 2010

hey everyone, i get house centepedes everywhere! and they are rally annoying and scary.im scared my dog might eat one. im so worried!
anyhow i would so try your product!

By Joe on Jul 2, 2010

I quite literally just found this site after killing a 3 inch long centipede in my bed. I was reaching to turn the light off and felt something odd on my leg. I lifted up the comforter and there it was, scurrying off my leg and trying to escape under more bedding. I grabbed the tv remote and managed to smash it (I don’t normally like to kill anything but was pretty freaked out considering its size and that it was IN MY BED). I can pretty much forget falling asleep now, haha. I have seen one or two in my basement before and recently my cat had a large swollen bite near his eye, so I’d definitely be interested in trying this product. Thank you!

By jsquared on Jul 9, 2010

one time I was outside with my boyfriend and one of my friends and we saw this crazy creature…..we were unsure of what it was…we took pics of it and it crawled underneath my steps of my house. Two months later, I witnessed the same creature in my basement just inches from my feet. It was centipede in nature with longer legs near it’s head. These legs were black and white striped and very spider like. I live in central new york, just curious what this this is. I am unable to find a picture of something that looks exactly like it online.

By heather beese on Jul 9, 2010

hi, i cant stand those nasty critters. Its like everytime i turn around i see those house centipedes crawling on my walls or on my ceiling and then once they are on the ceiling they bend back and fall on the floor or on whatever is there when they fall. They freak me out and my apt complex said it doesnt matter how clean your house is they still are there and they cant do anything about them. uhg, i have a two yr old daughter and i dont like seeing those nasty things in her room i freak…then i see babies in my kitchen…i cant stand it really. We just got over this cricket problem we had and now we have this problem…please help i would love to test your product and im sure if it works i can get my friends and neighbors to use it as well. Thanks

By Katrina on Jul 15, 2010

For months we’ve been frustrated with the annoying presence of spiders, ants, pincher bugs and most recently, silver fish. Eww!

But last night topped the cake! I was just about to go to bed when something caught my eye. It was the ugliest, creepiest insect I’ve ever seen in my home before. As I started to reach for my shoe it started to scurry. Wow, it was fast! I didn’t waste time. I hauled off and smacked the wall with my shoe as hard as I could. Most of the legs were then stuck to the sole of my shoe and the body was sitting on my carpet, inches from my bed. I was instantly set into panic mode. Were there more? What was it? Does it bite/sting?

Needless to say, I couldn’t sleep. I instantly got online and started searching insect images until I found it. It turned out to be what one person called the “hairy scary”, a type of house centipede. It wasn’t like the centipedes I was familiar with. It looked less like a worm with legs and more like an alien crossed with a spider and a silver fish. EWW!

So now I’m obsessed with trying to find out how to rid our house of them before they end up in one of our beds. My worst nightmare, right now!

We have a cat, fish and a 5 year old with asthma so I’d love to stay away from toxic pesticides. If I could try this product and find that it works, I’d be able to sleep at night and would be super happy to spread the word about the product.

By Deanna on Jul 19, 2010

Call me old fashioned, but they have a right to be here more than we do. As long as the spiders don’t bite me and my family, they are welcome in my home. We have the giant orb spiders here in PA and they visit my backyard every summer as well. My mother has the house centipedes as well. We have never had a problem. I’ve removed the webs so many times that the spiders now build above our walking height and the centipedes only come out when my mother is not in the room. She has a very ear-piercing scream.
We only see the centipedes when the light is first turned on before they scatter. So, kill them if you must; but, remember, Karma will come back and seek her justice for what is done.

By Roberta on Jul 22, 2010

Hy, i am getting sick because this terrible bugs named house centipedes. I just got married 2 months ago and my husband and I moved to a beautiful house and could never imagine have this problem in our lives. Since we back from our dream honeymoon we start to see this scary insects in our home. After see some of them I started to worry about this and we got an exterminator company to solve the problem but they didn’d! So after 2 months sharing our space with these creatures and working so hard to seal spots, clean, putting all kinds of medicide and praying to get rid of these nasty creatures i am really getting so tired and sick. I just don’t sleep anymore. I spend all night awake and when i finally feel asleep so i wake up thinking the centipede will come to my bed and bite me. I am so allergic since child and i am afraid what could happen if they ever bite me. My head hurts so bad and my breast hurt sometimes too because i almost have no sleep anymore. When i sleep is during the day for few hours because i just can’t be awake anymore. I am also so scary what this insect medicine can do to our health. I already saw more than 40 house centipedes in 2 months and now the beautiful dream house became a nightmare and i would love to be able to move here but we just can’t afford this now. The centipede problem is even affecting our marriage since we spend so much time working to get rid of these terrible centipedes and don’t much have time to have fun anymore and we just got married. Please help us! I would love to be a tester for your product!

I live in nYc. i am a 30 year old recently engaged. in a few months i will have my fiance living in my apt. with me. the apt. is a first walk in so it is ground level. there is also a porch and stoop made from concrete, stone and brick that is above and toward the front of my apt. it holds alot of moisture and is usually damp under the stoop where i have some of my sotrage and the water , electric meter , and gas meter. the walls are all pretty sealed up tight, i usually see these House Centipede’s in my bathroom, hallway area , close to the stoop and coming from behind my couch which is pressed up against the wall. i also get teh occasional red spiders, black spiders with big belly’s and waterbugs. i have some sticky traps under the fridge, under the stove and under the couch . they dont really catch much jus tone or two here or there. these bugs are very annoying to me. i was watching tv a little while ago and noticed a centipede crawaling on my arm. it grossed me out. if my fiancee moves in here and the situation doesnt change, this will cost me more problems and probably a new apt.

please helpp !!!!!!!!!!!!

By Marianna on Aug 1, 2010

I cannot stand house centipedes–they are so creepy! We just moved into an older house and have been seeing them more and more often. My boyfriend can’t even sleep at night because he is so disgusted by them. Please help!!! We would LOVE to test your product.

By Ren on Aug 2, 2010

My husband, me and our baby transfered in a new apartment and there we saw a crwaling centipede inside the house especially in the bathroom. We are so worried that it might bite out 1 year old baby who was roaming around the house. We don’t know any other means to control centipedes here we just use any hard object to press it until it dies. Hope we coul have the honor to be one of your tester to use and comment on your endorsed prodcut – EcoSmart. Thank you!!

By Randi on Aug 3, 2010

So, I was sitting on my bed when I felt something on my foot and I jerked it off. When I saw it scurry into my sheets I figured it was the usual ant or spider (which don’t bother me anymore) and it was this nasty centipede. I instantly freaked out and reached for the nearest thing to kill it with. It is the first time I have ever seen a centipede in this house since I have lived here (almost 2 years), and I am worried, since it has been storming out, that there is going to be more.
It is midnight and I can’t sleep for fear of waking to one of them being in my bed again, or on me. I am even afraid that they will get into one of my orifaces. This is ridiculous. I don’t care what psycho lady above me says, they do not have a right to intrude in our homes and give us anxieties like this. They affect our lives because we are scared of them and that is not right.
I do not believe karma will come around and get us for killing something that has come into our home and affected our lives, I don’t care how much of a right she may think they have. I am only 20 and new to this whole situation, so I would like to try out something non-harmful that will get rid of these disgusting creatures. I do not feel they have a right to scare me so much I won’t sleep. Thank you.

By Pam on Aug 11, 2010

Am interested in testing this if you still are making this offer available. live in a 2nd floor apartment; and do not have control over the basement situation; or the yard around the house; so am looking for effective means for my little area of the house to stop them from entering.

By Leigh Ann Travis on Aug 13, 2010

We just moved to a new house 2 weeks ago, and mine and my 5 year old’s room is in the basement. I’m a single mom with 4 children, and we are all scared to death of any kind of bug. I didn’t think I could be more scared of anything but spiders. But I can’t decide which I hate worse, spiders, or these things! I have seen dozens of these things since we moved here. I don’t know where they are coming from.
I haven’t bee able to sleep at night because of them. Yesterday, a baby one was in my bed. I know they crawl more at night, so I have been sleeping what little I do with all the lights on. I stay up all night, and finally fall asleep for a little while during the day. I can perfectly relate to what most of these others posters are saying. A huge one got away last night before we could kill it. It must have been 5 inches long. How could anyone want these things in their house just because they eat spiders? They are as bad as having a spider! They are just as creepy if not creepier!

I don’t know what to do, it really is affecting my life. I keep looking over my shoulder, and getting the willies constantly. I’m always thinking they are crawling on me. I would LOVE to be a tester of your product. I’ll follow any instructions you give me, I want these things out of my home. I want to be able to sleep at night, with the lights off. I am exhausted. Please allow me to be a tester, I will follow all instructions, and give feedback.
Thank you

By Phil Smith on Aug 24, 2010

I live in Maui where we have really large centipedes that give very painful bites. Until this morning I’ve never had one in my house, I just got about a 4″ one. I can’t wait to try a green solution as mine was a little less that green, I’m sure. I used a can of Napa Auto Parts carb/choke cleaner. It’s a clear solvent in a pressurized can and evaporates almost immediately leaving no stain. Unlike ant spray that has little or no effect on these pests, carb cleaner slows them in a few seconds and kills within 10-15 seconds, it seems to work that way on all bugs but like I said, it’s probably not the greenest solution – although it doesn’t leave a poison residue so maybe it is better than ant spray etc. I look forward to a green solution to remove any further little beasts from my house. thanks and RSVP

By Gross! on Aug 26, 2010

I’ve been living in my house for around 12 years and never any of these… until this year. I hate them! So far I’ve had at least 3 terrifying experiences with them. The first was when a friend was over for the night. I had told her about them but I think she was imagining the small ones you see outside. The next morning I woke up to one on my foot! I then proceeded to jump about 20ft in the air and wound up landing on my friend who got a pretty good sized bruise from where my elbow landed (oops). As a result, she now refuses to sleep in my room.
The second time was when I was watching TV and saw a dark blob in the corner of my eye, moving fairly quick, across the ceiling right overhead of me. Turns out they move extremely well on “pop-corned” ceilings. Again, I freaked out and spent a good 15 minutes trying to figure out where it went.
The last, and most recent encounter was when I was on my computer in my room (which is in the basement). I spotted something moving along the bottom of the wall next to my desk. It was small though so i didn’t think it was a house centipede…until it got closer. It turns out one had babies! Just thinking there’s dozens of them crawling throughout the house makes me sleepless! Ooooh I can not stand them one bit! I’d gladly try your product, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get rid of them safely. Is EcoSMART safe for small animals? I have a cat and a puppy so I haven’t been able to use traditional sprays and pesticides.

By Tara Leitemann on Aug 29, 2010

When we first moved into our house 6 years ago, I saw a couple of these bugs. But this year, with all the rain we have been having, I see them quite often, almost always in the basement. I kill at least one a week, sometimes four or five. I hate these things! I know I should be dusting and vacuuming more frequently to discourage these things, but I’m so terrified of having one fall on me, that’s it’s hard to get the courage up to do. It seems silly maybe, but my skin crawls just thinking about it, and every time I have to kill one, I have to work up the guts to do it because of how they move and how they look. Please help…I can’t stand sharing my house with these awful centipedes. I dearly hope your product works, because I just want to feel comfortable in my own home again!

By Tara on Aug 30, 2010

Ugh I HATE house centipedes. My family has about five of them in our basement, which gets leeks every time it rains. They sometimes find their way into my room. Im not really that freaked out when I find them on the floor or on the walls. The main problem is when they’re on the ceiling. I did some research and learned that they fall off surfaces when they are scared. I’ve had so many of them fall on me and I am sick of it. I’ve tried your product and I know it works on ants. Now I have to see if it can help me with these little buggers.

By LaLa on Sep 4, 2010

eww I just found a centipede in my bathtub. It’s never EVER happened before. I didn’t even know what the heck it was…just that it was as big as my thumb, had a billion legs, and was one of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen.

Japanese stinkbugs and spiders have come and gone, but the house is pretty clean. Except maybe my closet. But this…it’s just disgusting.

But I killed it…so…do I need to do anything else??

By Amber on Sep 21, 2010

I bought a “house plant” yesterday at the local grocery store and woke up this morning to find it COVERED in centipedes or millipedes which completely has me grossed out. With three kids and a weak stomach I believe I will be going to purchase the EcoSMART no later than this morning!!! YUCKKKKKKK

By Joyce on Sep 29, 2010

I just moved into a first floor apartment and have seen four house centipedes in the past week and a half. I had this strange bite on my foot one morning too.. definitely not a mosquito or spider bite. am totally distraught. Help!

By Annie on Sep 30, 2010

I just moved into a basement apartment in Staten Island. So far I have found 2 big house centipedes on separate occasions. I can’t kill ants let alone these huge centipedes. I always have to bother my roommate by waking her up and asking her to kill them. If I could find a way to truly get rid of them, it would be a great blessing. Honestly, I can’t even sleep anymore for fear of finding a centipede near me.

By Tammy on Oct 20, 2010

I hate seeing these things around my apartment! They give me the heebie jeebies. I live on the basement floor of the building, so moisture is somewhat exessive, especially in Michigan. Pleeease let me try this product. I’m sick of using raid, it only last for a few weeks..

By Ellen on Oct 25, 2010

Hi. We just moved into a 105 year old house from living in a 90 year old condo. We got these huge (2 – 2 1/2 inches) centipedes at the condo, but rarely and pretty much only in the Fall. In the house, I’m seeing a LOT of them and I can hardly stand being here anymore!! And my poor kid freaks out from seeing *me* freak out. I’m going to work on sealing things up in the basement, etc, but I need to do something else NOW. My husband is very uncomfortable with chemicals, so recommendations we’ve had before aren’t much use. I would love to try this product – it might make the whole family happy.

By francisca rodriguez on Nov 20, 2010

hi when we first moved into our home we didnt see much of any insect at all but then as time was passing by we noticed centipedes, roaches,ladybugs and we even have a wasps nest on the corner of our garage and its pretty scarry i never seen so many bugs in a house i have a 7month old and since i do live in michigan and the climate changes alot it does get moist so we pretty much see the all year round i need help i dont kno how to deal with them of what to really do!

By ANJ on Dec 31, 2010

I would love to become a tester. I saw this huge centipede yesterday, I’ve been seeing the odd one for months in t6he basement where we did have a leak that we couldn’t remedy. Now that is finally sorted and we still have the centipedes. Yesterday it darted into the kitchen while I was entertaining guests and I was so embarassed!
Please help!

By ANJ on Dec 31, 2010

I would live to test your product. These awful monsters are really bothering my family. We have corrected the damp issue but there appears to be an ongoing centipede issue and they are frighteningly large.

By Donna Christian on Mar 29, 2011

I would love to become a tester. I saw this huge centipede in my bed this morning! My husband thinks its because I wont let pest control poision my house! I would be willing to if there was a natural product out there, I will look for EcoSMART at Walmart! Thank you for just having the comment section, it helped me relize that I am not the only one that has centipedes in my bed!

By M. Smith on May 8, 2011

In the last week, I have killed at least 10 centipede’s in my bathroom (2nd floor of a house). I haven’t seen them anywhere else, but they’ve been large and small, sometimes in the bath tub, some times just running around on the floor like they’re at a convention. I’ve seen them in the day and night and I’m going to have a nervous breakdown searching the room for them before doing anything else.

By Sarah on May 21, 2011

When I first moved into my home almost 9 years ago I never seen a Centipede. The last 3 years or so I have seen more and more. I am so creeped out by them and I can’t even sleep in my own bed anymore in fear of one crawling on me. I have killed like 4 in my bathroom in the last couple of weeks. I seen one crawling on my kitchen floor several days ago and I see baby ones around. My basement is damp and water leaks in when it rains a lot so I think that is when they come around. I have such anxiety in my own home and can’t sleep and I am always looking around to see if I can see any. I have 2 dogs so I do not wanna use harmful products. This is consuming my Life and I can’t deal with this anymore! I would love to try your product. I need help before I go insane!!!!!

By Thomas on Jun 1, 2011

I live in a all brick building and mostly see the centipedes in the living and bedrooms I would like to test your product. I have sealed up all AC with spray foam and have sealed up the front door for extra measures but hey still get in.

By BugKiller on Jun 16, 2011

I just killed my 2nd nasty hairy bug two days in a row now, all in the kitchen. I have a very robust and tough 5 month old and I regardless will be drowning my house inside and out with insecticide. I am not shy about spraying that around windows, in vents, in and around the stove, etc. I seriously hate these bugs and I hate how fast they run. I agree with the other poster I cant even look at their pictures. I walk around my house staring at the walls and ceiling now just looking for bugs, god damn them!!

By Jim on Jun 17, 2011

I have moved my home office into my basement. Since then I have become aware that I share my office with Centipedes. They really creep me out and I’m waiting for the moment one runs up my leg….yikes!! I would love to test your product.

By Jennifer on Jun 22, 2011

I HATE these creepy crawly house centipedes! I had never seen one until I got married and moved into my husbands childhood home. They come out in the summer especially when it rains alot. We have a basement that tends to be damp a lot so I think they come up through the drains. My husband hates them just as much because I am afraid to even attempt to kill them because they freak me out and move so fast. He is always having to run in and save the day and kill them! I have always found them in the bathroom until last night I found one under my bed. I am now totally freaked out and cannot sleep. I would love to try your product so that I don’t have to walk around “on guard” constantly in my own home. Thank you.

By Sheena M on Jun 26, 2011

We recently purchased a home and it it an older home so I know creepy crawlies come with it. However the amount of centipedes that came with this home are unreal! I know they are beneficial and eat spiders and all but they are disguting. I have killed about 30 in the month that we’ve been here and we were gone for about a week on vacation! I don’t know what else to do anymore! Please help!!!

By SUMAN K on Jul 6, 2011

Hi – I live in a second floor apartment in CT and am very sick of these creepy centipedes. I can’t even muster enough courage to look closely at them so being able to kill them is just too much! I even changed my apartment after a year but they are there even in my place.. In fact I am seeing them more often this year. I have tried some bug sprays but can’t say they have been effective to keep these out. I am so sick of them… Would love to be able to try your product if testing is still offered. It would be such a BIG relief to have my place free of this disgusting thing and to have my peace of mind back! Thank you.

To those who have spider problems…I cut my huge spider problem down tremendously when I installed a motion sensor on my front light. By having the light on only when I need it I don’t have a bazillion bugs attracted which is the primary interst of spiders. No more walking out the front door to be engulfed in a huge spider web.

well… i just moved into a room into my unfinished basement and i started noticing centipedes where everywhere. if i have the lights off watching tv i notice 2 or 3 in an hour walk past my bed. The other night i saw one in my window sitting still than it atacked a small grass hopper. I’ve caught one in a jar (which was really hard XD ) and what started to make me wonder is that i had two on my covers when i woke up one night. the scary part is that all websites say that the things are one inch on average, but ive seen them up to 4 inches in my basement :O . yessss they are the Scutigera coleoptera species can somone halp me understand whats going on??? ( i bet i have the worst centipede problem on this page )

I just had a baby 2 months ago and she is my first. I’m so worried about anything harming her. We watch her like a hawk! We live in Hawaii were theres centipedes all over that sting. One of our roommates is allergic to their stings. She has to get rushed to the emergcy room every time she gets stung. In the past month we found four in our house. Two in the babies room and two in our room. We sleep in her room with her and thats how we discovered them. One right next to her bassinnet and the other close to her crib. Scarey! We would be honored to try your product and excited to try it as soon as possible! We also have a pet so its great to know its friendly for children and pets.

So glad to see I’m not the only one haunted by these creatures. I moved into an apartment 2 years ago and have just seen these creepy things in the house about 6 months ago. I’ve never seen them before – ever! My fiance thinks I’m overreacting but they are making my life miserable. Last night I saw a big black spider scurry across the living room floor and I wasn’t quick enough to kill it before it hid under the couch. Then out of the corner of my eye, I see a centipede on the wall right where the spider was. This thing was huge! My fiance won’t help me kill these things (I think he’s scared too and won’t admit it) but I can’t relax unless I know they’re dead. Of course I wasn’t fast enough for the centipede either and watched helplessly as it hurried into the cracks of my dresser. Great. So now it lives in my clothes and I’m going to worry everytime I open a drawer. It’s making me want to move and I love our everything else about our apt. I can’t relax at home! Please help!

I found this site while researching house centipedes, and really need a way to get rid of them and other pests that is safe to use around my newborn and pets. We are in a rural area of Georgia and have different pest problems depending on the season, and our 200yr old house is full of nooks and crannies! Would love to review this product.

I have seen these gross things everywhere but my bed and after reading this, if I see one in my bed I will lose it. I have a cat (which he is lazy and fat and doesnt chase them LOL)and a 17 month old little boy so I really dont want to call an exterminator, but then again I am worried what will start popping up if I get rid of the centipedes…. What should I do? Will this product help me get rid of centipedes and the unknown with out hurting my 2 precious boys?

I had never seen or heard of house centipedes till I moved to the house I live in now about 5 years ago. I’ve tried killing them with regular pesticide outside & in my garage, but occasionally I’ll see one in the house and I have small dogs. I would live to try this product. They creep me out so bad!!

HELP!!!! This morning I was running late as usual and was multi tasking in the shower… I was swishing mouthwash. I know, a little weird. But I was in a hurry and a few moments after I spit it out towards the tub drain I was washing my face when I felt a stinging, burning sensation on the top of my foot. Thinking I must have gotten some Listerine on my foot I tried to just ignore it (remember I have my eys closed washing my face)…. Well, when I open my eyes I freak out because what I was actually feeling was a house centipede biting me!!!!!!! I jump out of the shower and about gave my husband and son a heart attack! Now I have a rash where it bit me and it went down the drain and I am not sure if I will feel comfortable in the shower ever again! I am going this afternoon to buy your ant and roach spray! I hope it works… otherwise I may never shower again!

I live in a multi family home with 2 other family and ants was a problem at first, but I emilinated them with many different remedies. centipedes has been a constant problem I do not like to look at them. They are on the walls, ceilings, once in my bed, bathroom, everywhere and nothing seem to rid them. I am even finding baby centipedes and they give me the creeps. How do I get rid of them forever. I am thinking about moving because of the problem. It really bothers me seeing these bugs. Please Help!!!!!

My roommate and I just moved to Pittsburgh pa about two weeks ago. We have killed over 7 house centipedes since we have been here with Raid although the raid works its terribly dangerous. I accidentally stepped in the raid (WIth socks on) and 1 minute later I began to feel my foot burning like it was on fire I realized my sock was wet with raid on it and I immediately ran to the shower and soaked my foot. These creepy crawlers are still showing up in our bathrooms even with the use of raid..so my roommate and I would love totry this product

I hate centipedes and they are all over my house!! I need to try something other than raid! I would love to try your product!

I have started spotting silverfish in my home recently and have tried products claiming to tie my home of them, but nothing has worked, now we’ve noticed some house centipedes and were getting desperate! We need a product that’s going to work and fast!

YUCK. I just moved into a +100 year old building in NYC and am on the 4th floor. I was already horrified at the amount of spiders we killed (and sweeping up dead bed bugs in the corners nearly gave me a heart attack), but I never thought I’d be this absolutely disgusted and grossed out by yet another terrible bug. I caught something out of the corner of my eye scurry across the floor and my first thought was “Ew! A roach!”. I was utterly appalled when I saw that it looked like a Silverfish on steroids! I have never seen a house centipede, let alone a bug inside that was over 2 inches long. I grabbed the Raid Max Bug Barrier meant for spiders, roaches and ants and proceeded to drown the vile creature. It seemed immobilized in the pond of Raid, but when I went to grab a paper towel to clean up the mess, it was GONE. It not only left behind a leg or two, but also remarkable anxiety! I can’t believe it SCURRIED AWAY after being in a puddle of bug spray! The worst part is that I can’t find it, and am literally getting goosebumps every few minutes or so thinking about it crawling in my bed, on my ceiling, near my hamster cages, etc. How do I get rid of these things if I’m on the 4th floor of a building, and already having made a conscious effort to minimize moisture?! Yuck!

Ive been contemplating moving because these centipedes have gotten so bad. And they are extremely BIG. I had to cover the picture of them on this site just to read it. Moreover, I just moved in my house 1 month ago and already have seen 3 overly sized centipedes. I have a 5 week old pup and a 2 year old son & they are honestly the only reason Ive even gained confidence to kill these things. Especially since they be mostly on the ceilings. They look like baby squirrels. Eww.. The ant spray I have leaves behind a terrible mist in the air, not to mention I am with child. Please help. I dont want to have to move again but really need these problem solved. Thanks for all the info!

Just moved to Georgia and into an apartment. The first week we killed 5 house centipedes. The complex has a bug guy that came by and sprayed 3 times already. Well its not working I just killed 2 more this week. I also have a cat and need something safe. I hope this stuff works.

Ive been in my new house for about a year now but recently we started seeing alot more centipedes and spiders. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I live in a very old house, and during the winter, I get quite a few centipedes. They really gross me out, and I would like to find a way to get rid of the ones already in the house and prevent anymore from entering. Thanks for the info. I hope it works!

My husband and I have these house centipedes in every room in our 130+ old house. We have been remodeling it for the past year and a half, so we are aware there are still cracks that need to be filled. We are working to seal up our house, but we need these crazy bugs gone! They give me the creeps and I am afraid of them crawling into our baby’s crib. Your product claims to be natural and I would love to be a product tester. I am leery about putting chemicals into our house, but am desperate at this point! I want them out. I understand they may not bite us, but they are not friendly to look at either! Not the comfy environment we were aiming for. Thank you for your help!
