House Centipede(s)
« on: September 22, 2007, 09:27:02 pm »
I have had these little devils in my basement for about a year or two now and while I am by no means squeamish or skiddish I really don't like imaging one crawling on my foot while I type.  They are supposedly good because they hunt Cockroaches, and other stuff of that nature...  I just really don't like the idea of one crawling on me  by accident.  Also, they are supposedly VERY common in most older houses.

Anyone ever had some of these things?

You can get your own!

Step 1: Leave food sources lying about. (Dark areas)
Step 2: Stop using that de-humidifier

These show up in my house all the time, usually in the sink. One time I was watching TV at like 2AM and I didn't have any lights on. And from the light of the TV I see something haul ass across the floor at like 45mph.. It was so fucking creepy. I turned on the lights and saw one of these bastards scurry away like lightning. They're fast.

That is the reason they come to my basement, to escape the harsh New Jersey winter.

If you don't have any sisters or whatever, you should get a lizard or a snake.  I think that would be the best course of action without resorting to chemicals

I think I should go with the chemicals, as an added plus, my basement will glow in the dark.
