\"Centipedes
Centipedes Can Bite<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Centipedes are pests that are pretty common to the State of New Jersey. You may come across them in your home, but don’t be too alarmed. It is possible for centipedes<\/a> to bite, but again, there isn’t much that you need to be concerned about. However, you should know what to do if you do experience one of their bites. You also need to know when to contact NJ pest control services.<\/p>\n

Do Centipedes Bite or Sting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

An injury from a centipede<\/a> isn’t really an actual bite, although almost everyone calls it one. The parts of the centipede that pierce the skin are called the forcipules. They are more like the front legs of the insect, and not parts of the mouth. Still, these appendages do inject venom.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, in most cases, a centipede’s bite isn’t dangerous at all. You may encounter some swelling and pain, but allergic reactions are pretty rare.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of a Centipede Bite<\/strong><\/p>\n

Symptoms of a centipede bite include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Pain at the bite site<\/p>\n

\u2022 Itching at the bite site<\/p>\n

\u2022 Redness and swelling<\/p>\n

\u2022 A headache<\/p>\n

\u2022 A racing pulse<\/p>\n

If you have a centipede problem in your home, contacting NJ pest control services is a wise move. This is especially true if you have small children at home or family members with allergies. In those cases, their reactions might be worse.<\/p>\n
