Do Centipedes Go in Pairs

They can up to 171 pairs of legs down to as few as 15 pairs, of which are always an odd number of pairs. Each pair of legs is attached to its own body segment, unlike millipedes that have 2 pairs of legs per segment.

Do house centipedes come in groups?

House centipedes are generally solitary, so infestations are rare. They can be found living in damp areas of the house, like basements, closets, and bathrooms. Sometimes they can even be found in tubs and sinks.

Do house centipedes multiply?

Unlike many pests, house centipedes will reproduce and lay eggs indoors, so it’s especially important to address infestations quickly. Centipedes hunker down in wood piles, concrete slabs, boxes, wall openings, drains, crawl spaces, and other damp, warm places.
