To Treat a Problem You Must First Know What the Problem Is!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some of the pests you find around your home aren\u2019t necessarily insects, even though they look very bug-like. Centipedes and sowbugs are examples of bugs that aren\u2019t really bugs. Instead, these critters are arthropods that are related to crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans. Keep in mind that our Tom’s River exterminator can help get them out of your home.<\/p>\n

Sowbugs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sowbugs<\/a> are small and have a brownish-gray coloring. If you look closely at them, you\u2019ll notice that they actually look like small armadillos due to the plates that cover their backs. Sowbugs can only live in damp environments, so you\u2019re not likely to find them hanging out in the main part of your home. You might find them in your basement, though, or around the outside of your house and on your lawn.<\/p>\n

Centipedes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Centipedes<\/a> are long and have many pairs of legs on their bodies. They\u2019re yellowish-gray or brown in color and have stripes on their legs. These critters, which prefer to live in damp, dark places, feed on bugs and other arthropods. You\u2019ll most likely see centipedes scurrying across walls in your home as they move from one hiding spot to the next. Centipedes are capable of biting people, but rarely do.<\/p>\n
