While giant centipedes can certainly make for a great science-fiction movie, their normal-sized cousins are not exactly the kind of house guests a homeowner wants. Fortunately, there are some very simple ways to engage in centipedes extermination Kailua-Kona. Here are some tips on how to do just that.
Kill On Sight
If there are only a few centipedes one has noticed in the home, the easiest way to kill them is just stomping on them. They are very quick so the stomp must come quickly or else they will run away. If the mere thought of this grosses the homeowner out, there are other, more passive means of execution. Read on.
Stick It To Them
Sticky traps can be laid out to catch the insects as they are going to and fro out the doors. This will hold them in place and the sheets can simply be thrown in the trash or a nearby dumpster. A word of caution, though, as these traps generally only work well with smaller centipedes. The larger varieties will simply pull their own legs out until they can get free and then keep moving. Of course, they can’t technically be called centipedes after this but they’ll still be in the home.
Poison
Using poison for centipedes extermination Kailua-Kona is always a hot-button issue as some of the more harsh varieties also kill plants in the area and can kill unknowing pets and small children. Experts recommend avoiding the truly toxic chemicals and instead using more natural poisons such as boric acid. These remedies will still kill the insects but will leave humans and pets unharmed. Unless the pets in question are also insects, in which case they are in danger also.
If none of these options are really what the homeowner is looking for, it may be easier to simply call a professional exterminator. A company such as Bowman Termite & Pest Management LLC can come to the home or business and have the pests running scared in no time at all. This way, the only people handling potentially dangerous chemicals are the professionals who have been trained to apply it safely. You can also follow them on Twitter.
