TTQ B4U Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Nasty. I hate finding those in the house.

You are absolutely correct. They have a very powerful bite and it can be a bit painful. Deadly? No. And some people may be allergic to them. KILL IT! haha There isn't a venomous, poisonous or other type of an animal that someone isn't allergic to. Many are allergic to the saliva of many insects/animals without the creature even being considered toxic. Definitely not a reason to start killing every bug you see. Except those are plant and fungus eaters... You, on the other hand, are incorrect, sir. As I've stated before on here, house centipedes are voracious devourers of insects and spiders. One of the reasons why I've never had a garage so low on spiders, etc as the one I have, now, in Ohio. (I've never lived somewhere with such a high population of house centipedes.) BTW Danielle, some people are allergic to the bite of a house centi, too. Killing all those, however, would put you in a much worse predicament in the end.

You definitely know more about bugs that I do,haha. I dont kill every bug, but spiders and I have had some issues in the past. Unless i know for sure what kind it is, its dead if its in my house.

ImUrOBGYN Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Not now I don't...not sure what I thought it was, but now I know better... Perhaps you were still thinking of the wood louse mentioned earlier. (The posted spider's favorite food.) You definitely know more about bugs that I do,haha. I dont kill every bug, but spiders and I have had some issues in the past. Unless i know for sure what kind it is, its dead if its in my house. That's understandable. If you aren't informed it's better not to take chances. However, you can always post an inquiry on here and I'd be more than happy to answer what I can and save the little guy's (but probably girl's) life.

87GT Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I've already talked to all the bugs in my house. I told them they can stay as long as I never see them. The first time I see them I will murder them. They have been warned :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Our apartment in Delaware was covered with spiders on the outside during the summer, and there were a ton of these centipedes around. I'd have to take a centipede outside from the living room every couple of days, but I never saw a spider around the house. I'm convinced it was due to the centipedes, so they got to live when I found them, I just put them out by the spiders to help clean up. Nasty little things though.

The first time I see them I will murder them. They have been warned :dumb: Haha Last summer I was in Texas, I had a tiny little shed. Standing room only for the most part. Well, a small nest of yellowjackets (notoriously agressive) decided to make a home under a shelf in there about a foot from where I have to stand. I made a verbal agreement with them that they were allowed to remain there but the first time one stung me, I'd wipe them out like Asians in a tsunami. Not only did they clear every spider from in and around that shed (this is texas, way bigger bug problem, figuratively and literally) but not a single agressive one the whole season. And that f'n nest got HUGE. Even had a bug guy come to spray around the house. Told him not to touch them because of the deal. He said no problem and went on his way. He even acted like it was normal. lol I never feared anyone else breaking into my shed... This.

Nasty little things though. lol They seem to always hang out right by my garage door opener/light switch. Little bastards. But they scurry quick. I occasionally find adults in the house, but I find tiny little babies far more often in my downstairs bathroom sink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
