    Hello,
    Welcome to FF.

    That's a pain! The centipedes will not hurt the frogs. However, they will likely be a big pain in the neck. NOT fun!
    You can "co2 bomb" the tank. It is a mixture of vinegar and baking soda.
    It will get rid of them AND everything else hanging around in the soil! A bit drastic.
    Sorry, I do not know the recipe and exact ratio( a search will find it for sure)
    You MUST remove the frogs for this !

    Have you added srpingtails and/or isopods to the substrate ,if so when?

    OR you could just leave them there They may not thrive.
    You might wait and see if they are growing in size and population.

    OR you could break it down, clean it out with vinegar and start over ? Yikes!

    You could PM DonLisk or ToadPaparazzi ----get several opinions

    Good luck

    Thanks for your advice. I have placed a sundew in in the hopes that it may help. I am still waiting to put in a frog as I have more plants than anything else.
