Repotting can rid a houseplant of garden centipedes. Remove the plant, discard the soil, clean and sterilize the pot, check the plant from top to bottom and replant, with regular checks on proper drainage and with regular watering no more frequently than every seven to 10 days. A pot's contents should be checked every time that the in-again, out-again, versatile houseplant comes inside from the cold and goes back out with warmer weather.

Their presence nevertheless is viewed sometimes as that of a pest warranting permethrin treatments and sticky traps indoors and outdoors.

Stepping on them helps. Spreading borax into the tight corners were you see the centipedes is also helpful. They like moist areas, so keeping moist areas dry is a good start.

You can either catch them and release them. Or, you can just squash them.
