What are the methods to kill centipedes

I think everyone is relatively unfamiliar with the animal centipede. Because centipedes have a very bad image, many people are unfriendly to them. Generally speaking, centipedes are poisonous. Although the toxicity is not strong, it would be a real pain for parents to have centipedes in their beds. There are many ways to kill centipedes. As long as the method is appropriate, centipedes can be eliminated. So, what are the methods to kill centipedes? Let’s take a look at the specific methods below.

Centipede is a worm-shaped terrestrial arthropod. The body of the centipede is composed of many segments, each segment has a pair of legs, so it is called a myriapod. They hide in dark places during the day and come out at night. Centipedes are afraid of sunlight and are active at night. They like to live in dark, warm, rain-proof and well-ventilated places. They mostly live in southern my country and are mostly raised in the north.

1. Opening doors and windows for ventilation and keeping the room dry is the best way to remove centipedes. This method is the simplest and most applicable and does not cause any harm to humans.

2. If centipedes are found indoors, you can use insecticide (the ones sold in supermarkets for killing mosquitoes) to spray the dark corners of the room, such as corners under the bed and under the cabinet. After spraying, close the doors and windows tightly. After an hour, go back indoors and open the doors and windows for ventilation. This will basically kill the centipedes.

3. Realgar and camphor balls in traditional Chinese medicine can repel centipedes. Just sprinkle these medicines in the corners of the room and the centipedes can be removed after a few days.

During the removal process, please note: centipedes have venom. If you are accidentally stung by them during the removal process, you should squeeze the sting with your hands in time to prevent the venom from spreading to the subcutaneous tissue. Then apply 3% ammonia water or 5%-10% baking soda water to the bitten area as soon as possible; or mash fresh mulberry leaves, dandelion leaves or onions and apply them on the area.

I think everyone should be clear about the methods of killing centipedes. In fact, the method of eliminating centipedes is mainly determined by their habits. If the environment at home is relatively dry, it is not suitable for the survival of centipedes. Or you can use some drugs to eliminate them, the effect is also very good. You can try it.
