Although there are more than 70 different species of centipedes in Canada, the most common one in Burlington is the house centipede. As the name implies, they generally live in houses. House centipedes do not like wet and cold weather, and instead seek out tight and damp areas to hide in. Examples of these areas can be cracks in your wall, your garage, your basement, your boiler room, underneath a leaky sink, in your bathroom and in the shower. House centipedes range in size between 2-16 Centimeters and have 30 legs. House centipedes have 15 legs on each side of their body and have flat bodies usually black and brown in color. House centipedes are extremely quick because of their many legs and they can be extremely hard to kill on your own.
