House centipedes are fast, unsettling, and seem to appear out of nowhere — typically in basements, bathrooms, and crawlspaces. They’re not dangerous to people, but their presence is a reliable indicator that something else is going on. Centipedes are predators: they feed on other insects, so when they’re showing up regularly, there’s usually an insect population in or around the structure supporting them. Pest Pros of the Hudson Valley provides centipede control for homes and businesses throughout the region, treating both the centipedes and the conditions that bring them inside.
House centipedes prefer damp, sheltered environments — which is exactly what most Hudson Valley basements and crawlspaces provide, especially during wet seasons. They move in through cracks in foundations, gaps around plumbing, and utility penetrations, and once they’re inside, they’ll stay as long as the moisture and food supply hold. Seeing one or two occasionally is fairly normal. Seeing them consistently, or in multiple areas of the home, suggests the underlying conditions are worth addressing.
The fix usually involves two things: reducing the insect population they’re feeding on and reducing the moisture conditions they’re drawn to. Treatment alone handles the centipedes that are present; addressing the root causes is what keeps them from coming back.
We inspect the areas where centipedes are active — typically basements, crawlspaces, bathrooms, and utility rooms — and identify the moisture and insect conditions supporting them. Treatment targets both the centipedes and the pest populations they’re feeding on, with applications to harborage areas, entry points, and perimeter zones.
Alongside treatment, we’ll walk you through what’s drawing centipedes in: moisture accumulation in crawlspaces, poor drainage near the foundation, gaps around plumbing, or high insect activity in undisturbed areas. Fixing those conditions makes treatment more effective and keeps the problem from cycling back. Our general pest control services are a good fit for homes where centipedes are part of a broader moisture pest issue.
Pest Pros of the Hudson Valley provides centipede control across the Hudson Valley, including Dutchess, Columbia, Orange, Ulster, and Greene Counties, with service in Poughkeepsie, Kingston, Newburgh, Beacon, Rhinebeck, Hudson, Saugerties, and Catskill.

Centipedes follow moisture and insects. If they’re consistently present in your basement, there’s likely a moisture issue, an insect population they’re feeding on, or both. Treatment addresses the centipedes, but the underlying conditions are what need to change for lasting results.
Yes. House centipedes thrive in damp environments, which is why they’re most commonly found in basements, crawlspaces, and bathrooms. Reducing moisture is one of the most effective steps for long-term prevention.
Yes. Treatment reduces the current centipede population and the insects they’re feeding on. Combined with entry point recommendations and moisture guidance, it produces significantly better results than treating centipedes alone.
