Fvck I got centipedes!

[DJDamage]

Up until a week ago I never even seen a creature like this but in the past week I managed to kill 2 already. Those buggers are really fast and big and they appear out of nowhere and surprise you.

I read that conventional bug spray's don't kill them so if anyone can recommand me something specific I am all ears.

Can you just imagine have a woman over and have those things running around???? Not only will she not spend the night but probably run away shrieking in terror (they will become little c0ckblocker's!!). I hope this isn't the summer new bug infestation cause I really don't need this!! :box:

 

[oakraiderz2]

Sick.

I've had 2 in my house in the past and you don't need to have a vagina to make yourself run away and scream when you see one of those things. I'm shure someone at home depot would know what to do. why dont they spell it depo?

Tips For A Centipede-Free Home:

1. Clear all wood and leaf piles away from your home.

2. Invest in a good pesticide. If you have pets and children and you would rather something less harsh, try looking into diatomaceous earth. It is a non-toxic, safe alternative made out of crushed fossils and marine life that is deadly to bugs but harmless to humans and animals.

3. Keep your house as dry as possible. Dehumidifiers work wonders at keeping your indoor air dry and they also deter centipedes from making your home their home.

4. Kill the food and the centipedes go away. Since centipedes live off of other bugs like spiders and roaches, keep your house free of all bugs by cleaning regularly and using insect spray when necessary. If centipedes don't have food, they will go elsewhere.

5. If all fails, look into hiring a professional pest exterminator for the job.

they are nasty lil creatures.....

Fvck yeah, they are kinda cool though like some alien's from another planet but not in my place. I thought that ****roaches are the worst thing to have until I ran into this thing.

Thanks for the tips Bible-belt, I will give it a shot.

These are easily the most disturbing things I've seen crawling around.
I wonder if they have some preternatural smarts, too - I've been about to smash a couple of them when they've literally taken a plunge off the wall on which they were sitting to get away from me.
They're incredibly fast - I'd suggest keeping a solution of 1/3 ammonia, 2/3 water in a squirt bottle. A couple of sprays immobilizes them (their spiracles fill up with the caustic brew), and they shrivel up.

The grey ones in my area are pretty nasty, but not the worst by far. I stayed at a place called Arcosanti, in Arizona. Their centipedes were frigging huge and venomous, with spiny legs that would cause rashes on any skin they merely walked on.
I saw scorpions at Arcosanti, too; we were advised to check our footwear every morning for all sorts of noxious beasties before donning it.

Yeah they are pretty smart. At first that thing didn't move when I took a closer look on the wall and I am like "WTF IS THAT?!" then when I was about to smash it, it took off like crazy (never seen any bug run this fast before) but I manage to get him anyway.

damn that is big. The big kinds like the one in the movie can kill a human being.

 

[StrangeButTrue]

Killed one in my house the other day. I see them once in a while, and it freaks me out every time.

The way they move their big looping legs is absolutely disgusting, and those buggers are ****in fast, too.

 

[wavejams007]

from what theat page says they eat, they seem to be usefull, eating spiders, bedbgs, cocaroaches and all, but they are disgusting

 

[ShizamDaMan]

How in the f*ck would you kill one of those giant centipedes? With a baseball bat? I'm pretty sure it'd be hard to stomp it to death, even if you had massive boots on.

Thankfully I only have to deal with the tiny ones at home, and they're not that creepy once you're used to them. My mom and sister still lose their sh1t whenever they see one though.

I wonder if my bird-eating spider could take one of those.

 

[arlanda]

****ing aliens! Run!

 

[Skel]

I have frogs. Im serious. When I open the back door for a smoke, they come running through trying to migrate somewhere else.

 

[Desdinova]

I used to play with centipedes when I was a kid. The small ones are pretty harmless to humans. I've seen tonnes of them, and they die with a squish of your shoe.

 

[doctoroxygen]

Some things just need to die. Sh1t.

 

[brucevangeorge]

Christ almighty - i hate insects and other things that dont even resemble lifeforms of this planet...:nervous:

Sarge On...

DID YOU KNOW??

You know, there are more insects than animals put together, AND they were the first life forms on land.... except for small bushes and simple plants.

I kinda want to get one of those giant centipedes now as a pet. I've had piranhas and other kinds of "dangerous" pets, but a giant centipede, now there's something you don't see every day.

In fact, I think that's the one pet that I might actually have to THINK about keeping in the house.

Just imagine...it's getting close to bedtime.....you go into the living room and say goodnight to your footlong giant centipede....it looks up at you, baring it's fangs and tries to come at you through the glass....you laugh at it and go "aww, how cute....goodnight centipede"...and you go to bed......you wake up in the middle of the night and head to the fridge to grab a bit to eat....on the way back to your bedroom, you happen to glance over at the centipede's little aquarium....hmmm....it's not there, maybe it's hiding under something.....nope.....uhh....oh my god.....you freeze in place and your eyes start darting around the floor....oh my god oh my god.....****! What about the kids! My wife! What if it's crawling into my child's mouth!....or what if it found a new home inside my wife's snatch?!?!?

Just imagine how freaky that would be. They're good escape artists apparently.
