House centipedes are actually friends! They don’t eat your food, clothes, or house, nor spread disease, but they do eat all the little bugs that do those things.

I totally believe you!

I do my best not to kill spiders and other friends. I only do it if I cannot transport them to a safer place for some reason or if it’s pure instinct (as in, I saw it unexpectedly and swatted at it without thinking).

Having said that, I totally get that some people have intense fear of these creatures. In this case, cat to the rescue!

I can’t even come close to a centipede without freaking out
They unfortunately look disgusting as hell though, triggers my disgust response like roaches do.
