Centipede, the purposes of its bite, and the way to dispose of it
Centipedes are one of the insects that cause you great fear because they are a slender insect with hundreds of long and thin legs that are found all over their bodies, and these insects move quickly when seen and look for a safe place and climb walls and under furniture and undulate their legs and move quickly.
Do they have a head? Do they bite? What are they? These questions come to our mind often and we will answer all of them so let's go!
centipede shape
• The size of these insects ranges from 1 inch to 7 inches.
• Their body consists of 15 parts, each with a pair of long legs.
• They are classified as arthropods.
• Found in many colors but brown and reddish orange are the most common color patterns.
What do centipedes feed on?
Centipedes are active hunters and are constantly on the lookout for prey as many people consider them useful to find indoors because they really kill unwanted pest insects.
They will kill and eat cockroaches, spiders, moths, flies and even termites as well as other insects. So if you often find centipedes in your home, this is a sign that there are a lot of pests.
How do these insects enter the house?
Like most insects, they are very cunning when it comes to getting into the house and are looking for a warm place where they can hide and search for prey.
So they come in from under doors through cracks and almost any opening as it's very small and narrow so the space doesn't have to be too big.
So make sure the doors are clear of holes and go to the sidewalk to make sure the cracks are fixed and the cracks in the foundations are closed.
Is centipede dangerous to people?
The good news is that the centipede, while amazing in that it runs at breakneck speeds from under the kitchen counter, is not considered dangerous to humans.
While they are likely to bite someone, they prefer to keep their venom for food and humans are not something on the menu.
If someone is bitten, it will most likely cause your body to blush
People who are particularly sensitive to bee stings and other insect stings and stings may need to see a doctor to make sure they do not have an allergic reaction to a house centipede sting, but most people should not feel any effects at all.
