Hi all, is there any floor trap that can BLOCK centipede in bathroom? I am using this kind of floor trap, that can block smell and cockroaches and rats, but not centipede!! The floor trap I am using already can 'takung' water, but centipede still 'swim over'. How.... Anyone one knows where to buy floor trap to block smell and CENTIPEDE? Klang valley area...

Buy some fine plastic mesh from stores, cut to size then insert into the plug. Should be fine enough to stop the creepy crawlies from coming in.
Or get a cat. My cat enjoys the extra protein from these critters.

Or once a while get a drain clog chemical, and plenty hot water to wash the hole. Should kill all the bug inside the hole.

Try putting the mesh below the removable trap, since most objects get trapped in the actual metal trap. Also, it's easily removable and cheap enough to be disposable.

Not to say the mesh, even my floor trap got many hole like 8mm size can clog every mth.

I think this trap idoblu post is more effective https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3272861And once a while clean flush with chemical and Dettol with hot water can kill bug and disinfect the drain hole inside. Much more better.

Too much chemical will kill the bacteria in the sewage tank, septic system and making the breaking bio matter slower. Not a good idea.

The 1 I write here is the normal chemical for drain hole that can buy from any hardware shop or ace. And ACE have dozen of such drain flush chemical to choose. I use dettol to kill centipede before. I think you know dettol is safe to use and any household should have it.

Just want to seek similar advice here since TS is asking about preventing centipede and smell. Hope TS doesn't mind me chipping in. I am having problem of strong foul smell from all floor traps on the ground floor toilets and kitchen. Mine is a new house. Can any sifu advise on how to get rid of the smell? Thanks.
