The Hidden Heroes: Centipedes Protect Your Home
Centipedes may look creepy, but they’re natural pest controllers, targeting cockroaches, spiders, ants, and other nuisances. Their presence often means fewer harmful pests in your home.
Unlike disease-spreading insects like mosquitoes, fleas, or kissing bugs, centipedes are harmless to humans. Their venom, used for prey, rarely causes more than mild irritation if they bite.
Recognizing their role can shift perspectives on insect encounters. While some bugs pose real risks, centipedes are valuable allies in keeping your home pest-free.
Next time you see a centipede, resist the urge to squish—it’s quietly protecting your space.
