Centipede Control for York County Homes
Seeing house centipedes race across a basement floor in York County usually means other insects are already living down there.
Our technicians knock back the centipedes while clearing out the smaller bugs that give them a reason to stay.
Centipedes hunt other bugs, so their presence in a damp York County crawl space or basement is a signal that the space supports plenty of prey. The humid, poorly ventilated areas under homes in Seaford and Coventry hold the moisture centipedes and their food both need. They move fast and hide in cracks by day, then hunt at night, which is when most people spot them. Because they follow the food, treating centipedes alone rarely fixes the underlying issue.
We inspect crawl spaces, basements, and storage areas to find centipede harborage and the insect activity drawing them in. Treatment targets the centipedes while we reduce the moisture and the prey population that sustain them, then we seal entry points along the foundation. Ongoing service keeps conditions unfriendly to both. Centipede control comes with our Pest-Free Guarantee from a local team serving Hampton Roads since 2000.

|---|---|---|
| UniGuard ProgramExclusive | Universal Pest Control Termite protection and full pest control combined in one membership for one low monthly payment — from $59/month, with the termite warranty and quarterly pest service included together. | Most pest control companies Termite protection and pest control are usually sold as two separate agreements, with two renewals and two bills to keep track of. |
| SmartPay financingExclusive | Universal Pest Control $0-down payment options on termite treatments, baiting systems, and repairs, so the work can start before payday.

| Total Home Health Network | Universal Pest Control Pest and termite control, attic insulation, and duct cleaning coordinated under one roof through the Universal family of companies — one point of contact for the whole job, done in the right order. | Most pest control companies Pest control only.
