Centipede Extermination in Montréal, Laval, Saint-Jérôme and Surrounding Areas

Are you seeing centipedes in your basement, bathroom, or along your foundation walls? Do they move quickly across the floor at night? While centipedes are not considered highly dangerous to humans, their presence inside your home is a clear sign of excess moisture or an underlying insect problem.

At ML Extermination, we provide professional centipede extermination services in Montréal, Laval, Saint-Jérôme, and surrounding areas. Our approach goes beyond simply spraying and leaving. We identify the root cause, eliminate active centipedes, and implement preventive solutions to stop them from coming back.

If you are searching for a centipede exterminator near you, we are ready to help.

​

Why Are There Centipedes in Your Home?

Centipedes are nocturnal predators that prefer dark, damp environments. When they appear indoors, it usually means one or more of the following issues are present:

    •    Excess humidity in the basement

    •    Water infiltration through foundation cracks

    •    Poor ventilation

    •    Presence of other insects (ants, spiders, cockroaches)

    •    Gaps around doors, windows, or foundation walls

Centipedes do not randomly invade homes. They enter because conditions allow them to survive and because food sources are available.

If you are seeing centipedes regularly, the problem will not resolve itself without proper intervention.

​

Are Centipedes Dangerous?

Centipedes use venom to paralyze small insects. However, their venom is designed for prey, not humans.

In rare cases, a bite may cause:

    •    Localized pain similar to a bee sting

    •    Mild redness or swelling

    •    Temporary discomfort

Bites are uncommon and typically occur only when a centipede is handled or trapped.

The bigger concern is not the bite. It is what their presence reveals about your home’s environment.

​

Signs You Need Professional Centipede Control

You may require professional extermination if:

    •    You see centipedes frequently, especially at night

    •    They appear in multiple areas of the home

    •    You have ongoing moisture issues

    •    You have other insect activity

    •    DIY solutions have failed

Centipedes often indicate a deeper pest or humidity problem. Treating only the visible insects is not enough.

​

Our Professional Centipede Extermination Process

At ML Extermination, we follow a structured and effective approach.

1. Detailed Inspection

We evaluate:

    •    Basement and crawl space humidity levels

    •    Foundation cracks and entry points

    •    Areas of condensation

    •    Signs of other insect infestations

    •    Exterior conditions around the home

The goal is to identify exactly why centipedes are entering your property.

2. Targeted Treatment

Depending on the situation, treatment may include:

    •    Exterior perimeter barrier treatment

    •    Interior crack and crevice application

    •    Treatment of high-activity zones

    •    Safe, approved products suitable for families and pets

Our treatments are designed for long-term control, not temporary relief.

3. Moisture & Prevention Recommendations

Because centipedes require humidity to survive, moisture control is critical. We provide practical recommendations such as:

    •    Using dehumidifiers

    •    Improving ventilation

    •    Sealing foundation gaps

    •    Correcting drainage issues

Addressing the source significantly reduces the risk of recurrence.

Can You Get Rid of Centipedes Yourself?
