\"\"<\/a>Many Monmouth and Ocean County, New Jersey residents are reporting that they are seeing an increase of creepy crawling bugs this summer season. While usually found enjoying the great outdoors, centipedes and millipedes are on the upswing in many parts of New Jersey homes.\u00a0 These nocturnal multi-legged problem insects tend to venture inside when the New Jersey weather is too hot to handle on the outside.<\/p>\n

The centipede<\/a>, also called the \u201chundred-legged worm\u201d can be an annoying pest both on the interior or exterior of your home or business.\u00a0 Preferring a wet moist environment the centipede will move indoors during dry weather. You can often find centipedes indoors around sinks, drains, crawl spaces, basements, sump pumps, bathrooms or other humid dark places.\u00a0 Centipedes can range in size from 1 to 12 inches.\u00a0 They are a long-lived insect and sometimes can be found to live as long as 6 years.\u00a0 They are typically reddish-brown in color, but subterranean species are whitish as they lack pigmentation.\u00a0 Centipedes are beneficial insects as they do prey on other insects, spiders, worms, and small animals.\u00a0 Their bite, although not poisonous, is painful when inflicted.\u00a0 Some people do experience allergic reactions to their bites.\u00a0 Centipedes are fast runners and have no trouble climbing walls.<\/p>\n

The millipede<\/a>, also called the \u201cthousand-legged worm\u201d typically will be found on the exterior as well, but during the late summer and fall months, will become a nuisance pest as they venture indoors to escape drought or excessive rain conditions.\u00a0 Millipedes are dark reddish-brown or brownish-black with cylindrical worm-like bodies.\u00a0 They grow to about \u00bd to 1 \u00bd inches long depending on the species. They crawl very slowly and secrete an unpleasant odor when threatened.\u00a0 Millipedes do not bite humans.\u00a0 They won\u2019t damage structures, household possessions, or food sources, but they are an annoying pest to have in your home or business.<\/p>\n
