Rochester Centipede Control
Rochester, NY Centipede Exterminators Near You
Fox Pest Control is a top-rated centipede exterminator in Rochester, NY and the surrounding area. Centipedes are creepy-crawly arthropods that are known for having 100 legs (which is why some call them “hundred-leggers”). Centipedes do not really have 100 legs, but because they move very quickly, their 15 pairs of legs can easily become blurred, making it seem like they have a lot more. Sometimes, centipedes are confused with millipedes or silverfish. Centipedes are carnivores who eat other small insects, but are typically harmless to humans. On paper, having centipedes in your home doesn’t sound so bad… until you see them. Seeing a centipede scurry away when you turn a light on is enough to cause a sleepless night. You’re not alone.
Thankfully, Fox Pest Control has a team of Rochester centipede exterminators to get rid of the current ones and prevent more from showing up. If you are looking for Rochester pest control services near you that tackle centipedes look no further than Fox Pest.

How to Get Rid of Centipedes | Fox Pest Control
How do you know if you have a centipede problem,
and what do they look like?
Well, centipedes are mostly brown, or orange,
and have legs on every segment of their body.
In fact, the word centipede means 100 legs.
Centipedes enter your home for a few reasons,
but the most common reasons are for food and shelter.
A centipede looks for a warm place to reproduce
and will find it in the dark, damp areas of your home.
Quickly you'll have a problem, because they multiply fast
and can live as long as six years.
To prevent centipedes, it's important to have regularly-scheduled pest control treatments.
This will eliminate other pests like spiders and roaches.
No spiders and no roaches equals no meals for centipedes.
Trying to remove centipedes yourself often results in yucky stains
that will ruin your furniture and carpet.
So when centipedes become a nuisance, don't DIY (Do It Yourself)
Insead, call Fox Pest Control for same-day service.
We'll send a certified, licensed pest pro to your home to do a free inspection and give you a quote.
After your service, we'll give you information on how to prevent centipedes from returning.
And don't worry, because we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee,
which means we fix your centipede problem for good.

Fox Pest Control Rochester Reviews
Larry Seltzer
I highly recommend Fox Pest Control for all your extermination needs. The service tech, Manny Rodriguez, did an outstanding and very professional job spraying my house for flying insects, ie, wasps, hornets, & yellow jackets. Manny explained everything before he started and he made sure that I let him know of any areas of concern on and around my house.
Tom Williams
This company offers a quarterly service. Each quarter targets different insects and pests according to the time of year. They start with an in-home extermination spraying with a environmentally friendly product. Then they maintain the outer home so that insects do not come back into the house. Very good service and quality as well
To ensure our customer's safety, we insist on a thorough screening process for all Fox Pest Control Technicians. They also complete extensive training in the classroom and on the job with an experienced mentor before servicing alone.
