Are centipedes considered pests?


Question:I found a dead centipede in my bathroom and just caught a live one. Should I call an exterminator?

Answers:
Centipedes are usually considered household pests, though they are more of a nuisance than a threat, and eat unwelcome insects and other household pests, hence no need for an exterminator.however if you just feel disgusted and want to get rid of them, then it's up to you.


do they have legs and crawl? yes, they are pests. call if you want to, but check around the house first.
yes! check around your bathroom and see how many you have before calling in a exterminator. Go to Home Dpot and ask them what to use and also make sure it is child and pet safe! Good Luck
It's quite useless if you call an exterminator because they'll come back after a bout 2 months.(Plus it's a waste of money) I think you'll just better be careful. They're really hard to kill by squishing, and it's dangerous to touch them, so I'll recommend those aerosol insect killers. Don't use repellent, cause it'll only make it thrash around in pain, and bite you if they get near.
