Cockroach & Centipedes -- How can the same pesticide be effective against both?

[chirhone]

Cockroach and Centipede have different blood and lung systems. How can the same pesticide be effective against both?

My country is under lockdown. I saw a centipede in the restroom. Before I could step on it, it crawled into the gaps in the floor tiles near the wall. I sprayed Insecticide. I was only sure it would work on cockroaches. But why would it work on centipede too? What is the specific target organ, the mitochondrontia?

There are lots of different pesticides. Many use different mechanisms to kill things.
If you look at the ingredients list on the pesticide's container, you should be able to find the active ingredients.
Google that and find out how it works.
Some invertebrate pesticides work on neurotransmitters which are shared among many invertebrates.

What is the best pesticide especially made against Centipede? I couldn't find this in google. What ingredients are involved and target organ systems in the Centipede? Anyone else?
