home pest-free without harming the centipede.
When released into a suitable natural setting — such as areas with moist soil or rocks — centipedes continue their role as beneficial predators. They contribute to the balance of local ecosystems while staying out of your living space.
Contrary to popular belief, house centipedes are not dangerous to humans. Their venom is only potent enough to subdue small prey, and they cannot pierce human skin. Understanding their harmless nature can help reduce fear and encourage coexistence.
