About Centipedes
Centipedes are one of the most feared household pests in Hawaii. The Vietnamese centipede, which can grow up to eight inches long, is commonly found across Oahu. These fast-moving predators are nocturnal, hiding in dark, moist areas during the day and emerging at night to hunt insects and other small prey.
Centipede bites are painful and can cause swelling, redness, and in some cases allergic reactions. They enter homes through cracks in foundations, gaps around doors and windows, and openings around plumbing. Yards with heavy mulch, leaf litter, and dense ground cover provide ideal habitat for centipedes to thrive close to your home.
Terminatus Pest Control offers effective centipede control treatments tailored to Oahu's tropical environment. We target both the centipedes and the conditions that attract them, helping to reduce populations around your home and prevent them from getting inside.
