House Centipedes: Lots of Legs, but not a Hundred

Author
Alpert, Gary; Frye, Matthew
Abstract
House centipedes are predatory arthropods that can be found both indoors and outdoors. They prefer damp places, including basements, bathrooms and even pots of over-watered plants, where they feed on insects and spiders. As predators of other arthropods, they can be considered a beneficial organism, but are most often considered a nuisance pest when present in the home.
