Various insects, including centipedes, often live in human housing. And they are the most useful of all the "neighbors" of man, because they feed on domestic insects. But, despite its usefulness, the centipede in the apartment (an insect photo is located below) is not a welcome neighbor. Many people are afraid of her awesome appearance, the terrible speed of movement and painful bites. True, they bite people extremely rarely, and this bite is no more painful than a bee sting. And the worst that a person can experience with it is swelling and moderate pain at the site of the bite. But these symptoms disappear after a few hours. True, there are people who have individual sensitivity to a rather weak poison of a centipede, which can create additional problems for them. And to domestic animals, such as cats and dogs, this poison cannot harm. Also, these insects do not spoil furniture and food.
But all these factors have little effect on people's attitudes toward millipedes. And the first question that arises for the owner, who has a centipede in his apartment, is "How to get rid of this scourge?" And there are several ways to destroy these insects in the house. This includes the drainage of places in which they can breed, and the extermination of other domestic insects - food for centipedes. Cracks in the walls are still sealed and professionals who call for pest control are called.
However, some people try to get rid of them on their own, while making mistakes that lead to a fairly quick recovery of their population. Moreover, they are forming an addiction to the means by which the processing of the premises was carried out. Therefore, it is advisable to seek help from the pest control, which can qualitatively, quickly and invisibly for the owner to bring millipedes. After all, a centipede in an apartment can live its entire life, and the fight against it is a difficult task, consisting of several stages.
First, the number and type of millipedes, as well as the area of their infection, are studied. Then begins processing the places where they were found. The centipede in the apartment loves the bathroom most of all because of its humidity, although it can also live elsewhere. Then the most optimal means for their destruction are selected. Here, depending on the case, even the destruction of centipedes with the help of smoke bombs is possible . Many drugs designed to kill millipedes are microencapsulated synthetic pyrethroids. They have a fairly large period (3-7 days) of preventive exposure. And so the centipede in the apartment treated with this drug will not reappear soon.
Such a chemical begins to act only at the moment of contact with microcapsules. In this case, the membrane is destroyed and poison poisoning the millipedes is gradually released. Yet these drugs do not leave stains and stains, so they do not spoil carpets, furniture, paintings and other things. They are also slightly toxic, and their toxicity has a directed effect. This allows you to get rid of millipedes, while observing the safety rules. They are practically harmless to pets and people. And their effect will be noticeable a few hours after pest control.
But the centipede noticed in the apartment in time will avoid chemical treatment of the room. After all, these insects do not settle in homes immediately in large quantities. Therefore, having noticed a millipede, it can be killed or caught in a jar and thrown out of the house. And if you do it on time, then the extermination of the terrible centipedes will be over. Although it’s also necessary to work hard. After all, the centipede runs very fast due to its rigid and flexible body, as well as its numerous legs. You can also exterminate small domestic insects, and then the millipedes themselves will go to a place where they have more food. Also, these insects love damp, and if you keep the house dry, they will find another, more comfortable refuge.
