Diet

House centipedes prey on many household pests. They will prey on almost any insect pests. Some of their preferred prey include:

  • Cockroaches

  • Flies

  • Moths

  • Crickets

  • Silverfish

  • Earwigs

  • Small spiders

However, their predation makes only a marginal reduction in the populations of the insects they prey upon.
