I just spoke to a customer service representative from Raid. I had sprayed a house centipede on my family room ceiling with a can of "Raid Ant & Roach" and it dropped and vanished. She said the can of "Raid Ant & Roach" will kill it. She said they don't list centipedes on the can because there are too many insects to list and house centipedes are in the same family as silverfish, which they do list. But, when I asked how long it would take to die, she said it is hard to say. Maybe very soon or maybe by the end of the day...

I can tell you right now, it kills them in about 30 seconds. I have a bunch of them in my house and I use the same spray and they die really quickly

I kept finding centipedes in one of my house plants.  I wanted to kill
them without using RAID so I would just kill one by one whenever I saw.
But always within a day they would all be replaced very quickly.
(Thankfully they are not able to climb out of the steep wall of the
planter so they are stuck in there with the plant) Finally I had enough
and I sprayed the whole lot with Raid.  All dead within 10 seconds. :)
