Next time you see this little insect in your house, don't touch it

Imagine a long-legged insect that sneaks quietly into your house. Instinctively, you might want to eliminate it. Yet this worrisome little being is in fact a valuable ally against pests. What if, instead of fearing him, you learned to appreciate it?
A formidable and discreet hunter

The home centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata) is often perceived as a miniature monster with its many tapered legs and ultra-fast displacement. However, in his undesirable guest air, he plays a key role in the balance of your home: he hunts and eliminates the real intruders.

Thanks to its venom and impressive speed, it catches and neutralizes a wide variety of harmful insects, including:

Spiders
Cockroaches
Ants
Mosquitoes

Rather than investing in chemical insecticides, why not let this little natural exterminator do its job?

A homeless (and useful) roommate

Contrary to appearances, the centipede of a house is totally harmless to humans. He only bites if he feels threatened and, even in this case, his venom is far too weak to harm a human. His only mission? Hunt the pests to keep your home healthier.

While you are sleeping peacefully, it tracks cockroaches and other undesirables. A discreet but effective presence, which perhaps deserves a little more recognition...
