My elephant ear ALWAYS attracts centipedes. Last year, I got scared and immediately repotted. The plant didn’t like that very much and lost leaves left and right! I had to start all over. Now it’s back and bettah than Eva! BABY CENTIPEDES AGAIN! 🤦🏽‍♀️ HELP! SOS!

Most centipedes are predatory, so check for other insects that they'd be hunting. House centipedes are attracted to moisture. Millipedes look similar and are mainly in plants to eat decaying plant material. Remove things they like, and they should go away. And if your plants are indoors, try to find and seal any entry points
