CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What things and smells are centipedes afraid of?

1. What things and smells are centipedes afraid of?

Centipedes are afraid of the smell of sulfur, pyrethrin, dichlorvos, lime powder, and mothballs. Centipedes are afraid of chickens, snakes, sulfur, pyrethrin, and dichlorvos.

Sulfur is also known as sulfur, colloidal sulfur, sulfur block, etc. It has a very sensitive smell. Centipedes dare not approach it when they smell it. In production, sulfur is often processed into a colloidal suspension for pest control, which is safe for humans and animals. Chickens like to eat centipedes. When they see centipedes, they will run over and eat them. Therefore, centipedes are very afraid of chickens. Centipedes are very afraid of snakes because snakes eat centipedes. Generally, when snakes see centipedes, they will eat them all.

Centipede control tips

Spraying insecticide can effectively kill ordinary centipedes, but large centipedes cannot be killed, but the smell of insecticide can drive them away. The amount of insecticide used to deal with centipedes should be two or three times more than the normal amount; especially in corners, spray more to kill centipedes better and prevent them from coming back. Put insect repellents, such as mothballs and other insect repellents, in corners, wardrobes and other places to make centipedes leave automatically.

Centipedes are afraid of sulfur, pyrethrins, indigo plant, chickens, snakes, etc.

Sulfur, also known as colloidal sulfur, appears as light yellow brittle powder or crystals with a special pungent smell. It is often used to make medicines for controlling pests and diseases. It is usually safe for humans and animals and is very effective in controlling centipedes.

In addition to using sulfur to control centipedes, you can also use pyrethrins to disrupt the centipede's neurophysiology, paralyzing it and killing it, or you can spray DDT on the ground or in the corner and close the door for half a day to effectively repel them.

Centipede's life habits

Centipedes are afraid of sunlight, hide during the day and come out at night, and like to live in dark, warm, rain-proof and well-ventilated places. Centipedes like to live in hilly areas and sandy areas. During the day, they hide in the gaps between bricks and stones, at the foot of the wall, and in dark corners of piles of leaves, weeds and rotten wood, and come out at night.

Centipedes are typical carnivorous animals with fierce nature. They eat a wide range of food, especially insects. When food is scarce in early spring, they can also eat a small amount of grass and young shoots of moss.

2. Why do centipedes appear in the room and how should we deal with and prevent them?

Centipedes prefer cool, humid environments, so they may be found in old, humid houses, but rarely in buildings. They may also appear in some newly built buildings, mainly brought in by humans. Centipedes generally do not come out to move around, and will only appear from time to time when their living environment is affected, such as when their nests are shaken, when there is insufficient water, or when the temperature rises. The main method of preventing centipedes in general households is to use sulfur powder. Sulfur powder has a certain killing power against centipedes, and centipedes will stay away from the smell of sulfur.

Centipedes are terrestrial arthropods, and their bodies are composed of many segments, each of which has legs, so they are multi-legged creatures. Centipedes are also known as Tianlong, centipedes, less-spined centipedes, Wugong, a maggot, etc. They are venomous, predatory terrestrial arthropods. Common centipedes include red-headed, green-headed, and black-headed. The back of the red-headed centipede is reddish-black, the abdomen is light red, and the legs are light orange-red or yellow. The back and legs of the green-headed centipede are blue, the abdomen is light blue, and the body is small, about half the length of the red-headed centipede.

The black-headed centipede has a black back and legs, a yellowish belly, and is smaller. The red-headed centipede is the best of the three types mentioned above. It is large, has a high yield, is docile, has strong adaptability, and grows fast. It is more common in rural areas, often in damp corners, under bricks, under rotten leaves, and in dilapidated and damp houses. It is more common in summer. Centipedes are carnivorous animals with a wide range of diets. They especially like to prey on various insects. Centipedes have poison glands that secrete venom, which can be used as medicine. They are suitable for artificial breeding.

Centipedes usually appear in old, damp houses. It's actually quite simple to get rid of them. Just add some desiccant and clean the room thoroughly.

Just keep the room clean

1. Habits:

Centipedes are afraid of sunlight, hide during the day and come out at night. They like to live in dark, warm, rain-proof and well-ventilated places. Centipedes like to live in hilly areas and sandy areas. During the day, they hide in the gaps between bricks and stones, at the foot of the wall, and in dark corners of piles of leaves, weeds and rotten wood. At night, they come out to eat caterpillars, spiders, cockroaches, etc. Generally, when the weather turns cold in October, they burrow into the soil on the sunny slopes of the leeward side, hide in the soil about 300px from the ground to hibernate until the next year after the Waking of Insects (early March), and then start to move around and look for food as the weather warms up.

2. Emergency treatment:

After being bitten by a centipede, wash the wound with soapy water immediately, apply cold and wet compress to the wound, or apply crushed houttuynia or dandelion to the wound. If you have systemic symptoms, go to the hospital immediately.

Tie a cloth band 2 to 3 cm above the injured limb, and relax for 1 to 2 minutes every 15 minutes. Apply ice to the wound, cut the skin of the wound, suck out the venom with a suction device or cupping, and rinse the wound with potassium permanganate solution or lime water. Those with severe symptoms should go to the hospital for treatment.

3. Prevention and treatment:

The natural enemies of centipedes include mice, skinks, toads, ants, chickens and birds. Centipedes are slow to hatch and molt, and are easily attacked by ants. They can be killed and eaten in just a few hours, so it is necessary to prevent and control ants in advance. Therefore, it is most important to keep it dry. Other substances such as realgar can also repel centipedes. You can also sprinkle hexachlorobenzene in the corners of the wall, which is very effective.

3. How to prevent and control centipede parasitic nematode disease?

(1) Causes and symptoms of the disease Nematodes that parasitize centipedes are also called wireworms. This disease mainly comes from worm-carrying bait animals such as cockroaches. The worms parasitize the centipede's digestive tract and even pass through the intestinal wall, coiling outside the intestine like wire, hence the name. The worms suck the centipede's body fluids, causing the centipede to lose a lot of nutrients, thereby hindering the centipede's normal growth and causing the centipede to lose weight. Although the disease will not occur explosively and will not cause large-scale damage to centipede breeding, as people's requirements for the quality of animal medicines increase, the disease may become a factor affecting the quality of centipede products.

(2) Prevention and control methods The main way to prevent and control this disease is to reduce or not feed locusts, grasshoppers and other insects, and feed juicy baits such as mealworms instead, and keep drinking water uncontaminated. When iron wire worms are frequently found in centipedes, 0.1 grams of anthelmintic can be crushed and mixed with 5 grams of whole milk powder, dissolved in 100 ml of hot water, and then absorbed with a sponge and sucked by the centipede to drive away the parasite.
