Stone Centipede

6203 – I’ve increasingly been seeing these I’m assuming “house centipede in my washroom and I have found one in my roof on the roof. I live in the basement and always have the fan running to exhaust the humidity. I found this under a fairly wet mat. After I picked it up I found it and was shocked it survived under it. What is it specifically and how can I get rid of them? This one is the largest I’ve seen this season so far! From Chestermere Alberta.

Number 6203 – This is a stone centipede in the order Lithobiomorpha. These are harmless to humans, and there is no need for control. They actually may be helping out by eating other arthropods in your home. Click here for more information.
