The answer to 'centipede nests' is that centipedes do not actually build nests. Centipedes are solitary predators that live and hunt individually, rather than in colonies or groups. However, centipedes may aggregate in areas with high moisture and abundant food sources, such as under logs, rocks, or in damp basements or crawl spaces. These areas can appear nest-like, but are not true nests.
If you suspect a centipede problem in your home, look for signs of their presence, such as seeing the centipedes themselves, their shed exoskeletons, or evidence of their prey. Centipedes feed on other small insects and arthropods. To control centipedes, focus on eliminating their food sources and reducing moisture in your home. Seal cracks and crevices, fix leaks, and use a dehumidifier if needed. For severe infestations or if you are unable to eliminate the problem, it's best to call a professional pest control technician.
