I live in an area with those fuckers, but also brown recluses and black widows. As a kid I always though we were lucky because we didn’t have any house centipedes, but now I realize that the houses with centipedes don’t have the widows and recluses. It’s like a turf war and I’m in the more dangerous neighborhood.
Every time I see these, I remind myself they don’t want to be around me and they eat cockroaches, bed bugs, and termites (and other yucky stuff I don’t like).
They’re just too damn creepy for me. I’m sorry, guys, my primitive brain has been programmed to have a strong response to seeing something like you. You understand. squish
House centipedes (Scutigera coleoptrata) are equally as beneficial as they are creepy.

As the one time owner of a 100 yo house in the Midwest I say this: fuck no.

Damn they give me the heebie jeebies though.
I’ll take the ants and flies, thanks. If I have this in my house, it’s likely I loose my home to fire
