The method is as follows:
1. Centipedes like a humid living environment. Therefore, in order to reduce the chance of centipedes staying indoors, the room should be kept dry and windows should be opened for ventilation. If water vapor cannot be removed through doors and windows, use a desiccant such as quicklime for dehumidification, or use an air dryer for dehumidification.
2. Centipedes like to live close to the ground, often hiding in caves or crevices. Therefore, once you find that a centipede has entered the house, you must clean up the indoor debris. Do not leave objects everywhere on the ground. Try not to allow small gaps to form between the debris and the ground. If you do not give the centipede a place to hide, it will naturally leave. Find a hiding place.
3. Centipedes entering the house are often due to the humid environment around the house, which is suitable for centipedes to live. In some cases, centipedes enter human homes intentionally or accidentally. Therefore, it is best to plan and arrange the garden away from doors, windows and walls, and do not pile debris close to the walls to reduce the possibility of centipedes entering the room.
4. Centipedes often enter the room through cracks in doors, windows and walls. Centipedes are nocturnal creatures, so doors and windows should be closed at night. Especially in hot summer, many people open their doors and windows to enjoy the coolness at night, which can easily lead to centipedes entering the house. If there are any cracks in the wall, they must be blocked.
5. Sulfur fumigation, pyrethrin fumigation, dichlorvos fumigation and other pesticide methods can kill centipedes quickly and effectively. However, these drugs are toxic to humans and animals and are often not suitable for human living environments and are only suitable for unmanned warehouses and other buildings.
6. If you want to expel centipedes, you can smoke mugwort or chili indoors, or sprinkle realgar wine on the ground and corners where centipedes hide, and then leave a door gap for centipedes to escape; outdoors Near the doors and windows, quicklime, sulfur, realgar wine, etc. can be used.
7. Aerosol insecticides that kill mosquitoes, cockroaches and other pests can effectively kill ordinary small centipedes. Some large centipedes cannot be killed, but the smell can also repel them. Pesticides are also low in toxicity, so they are suitable for use in the home environment. It should be noted that aerosol insecticides cannot be used to deal with centipedes like cockroaches. Two to three times more than usual must be used to effectively kill or expel cockroaches. When using it, spray violently at the centipede's hiding place. If you just want to kill it, close the doors and windows and fume it; if you want to expel it, leave a crack in the door to let it escape.
