...Or you cold check to see how folks keep squirrels out of bird feeders on the mainland and make similar sorts of devices around your house posts.
I thought this was funny! (Not making fun of you, Hotzcatz.) But if centipedes are as crafty and motivated as squirrels, there's no way to keep them out. Just about all methods to keep squirrels out of bird feeders have failed. There was even an Animal Planet program a while ago called, Daylight Robbery II, that followed up the final bit in the first Daylight Robbery. It showed how "the ultimate anti-squirrel" birdfeeder was accessed by a squirrel.
So as not to hijack this thread with nothing substantive about 'pedes: Stan, I don't know if cedar shavings around the perimeter will help. It might just give them a place to hide until night. Centipedes don't seem to be like a lot of other bugs.
