DIY Centipede Trap

Granted, none of the insect traps on our list is that expensive, and they can easily be purchased online or picked up at the nearest hardware store. But if you love do-it-yourself projects, why not craft your own centipede trap at home?

How to Make a Simple Centipede Trap

For this centipede trap, you only need a piece of cardboard, wood or heavy construction paper, and a smear of Vaseline (petroleum jelly).

Spread a thick layer of petroleum jelly all over the cardboard using your finger or knife. Then, place the gunky strip in corners, behind the toilet, under sinks—anywhere centipedes are likely to find it. When a centipede crawls across the jelly, it will get stuck in the goo. This trap will also work with other small, crawling pests, such as the centipede’s “cousin,” the millipede.
