Does anyone have a natural solution for getting rid of centipedes? I live in a first floor duplex and have been noticing more of them in the cold weather.

What I use for ants is powdered cayenne pepper. I sprinkle it outside the house where they come in and also inside. I used the very strong BTU cayenne. A lot of health food stores carry the higher BTU cayenne.

Try borax, I have them as well. I have borax under my dishwasher & behind my stove & I haven't seen any since. I live in the city around mulch which is under my steps going outside. So try it & let me know if it helps you any.

For indoors try placing mice glue boards along the base boards, behind furniture and on either side of entryways. This will help check seals on all doors leading outside for gaps. Windows also for any cracks. You can seal these fairly cheaply and safe on heating/cooling bills to boot. If you have mulch or high grass around the foundation that is where they tend to come from as other insects live there. Cut the grass low and move the mulch 6 inches from the foundation will help.
