How do I bring back rid of the house centipedes within my house? They drive me crazy!? We are running a dehumidifier in our basement and hold cleared away...

We are running a dehumidifier in our basement and hold cleared away stuff from around the outside of the house. I try to keep the house un-cluttered too. But they still sneek in and terrify me to death! I don't want to use pesticides. Somebody, please help!
when we moved into our house we have them like crazy!... im pretty sure we just agree to em go. We also vaccumed allot.


are they house centipedes or the red ones from outside? house centipedes are completely harmless- and they will even lose legs if you even brush them with something. The ones from outside tend to "attack" houses within cycles. I know you don't want to pesticides, but if you treat around the base of the house they will not come in any more. Otherwise they will start out eventually. Buy an utlrasonic pest repeller at Home Depot or Target and anything that creeps or crawls will vacate your home in a matter of minutes.
I bought one for roaches because the apartment I moved into be infested and within a few hours after pluging it into an electrical outlet I didn't see not one of the disgusting things skittering about.
It emit a high pitched sound that insects and rodents hatred and can even kill them if they stay but is safe for humans and pets.
Good luck
Answers:    First, you undeniably must get some sticky glue boards - a capture centipede is just as good as a unmoving centipede... and yes, they do bite, and yes, for some people it's serious.

I believe the answer you're looking for can be found in Integrated Pest Management. Since respectively home is different, the exact steps you'll need to take will alter, but the basics are: block off the entrances into your home, make smaller the harborages and apply pesticides.

This works for all bugs.

Oh - and Druidic methods such as ultrasonic noisemakers, bay leaves, cinnamon, saline, chalk and the like don't work. You'll just gamble away your time and money.

Also - boric acid is a very skinny pesticide against bugs... especially centipedes and spiders. And yes, boric acid is poisonous.
