Moths are damaging too. Bitches better not eat my coat.What’s so ironic about this is that House Centipedes are one of your best (and harmless) combatants for all of the above, in addition to Roaches and Silverfish. Silverfish are especially hard to eradicate from homes- harmful chemicals don’t work. House Centipedes do. They’ll leave your home once there is no ACTUAL pests in it. People are better off learning what a pest actually is and giving credit to the beneficial insects (or in this case Chilopods) that enter our homes only when there is a food source.
