Dang, those things are really creepy. But my family has a time tested way to kill them. When anybody finds a centipede in the house someone (usually dad) grabs it with some tongs and then roasts it in the stove. It wriggles when it burns. :twisted: I know it sounds kind of funny but this way the centipede can't bite you and you get to experience a little arthropod pyrotechnics. : I remember recently that a centipede came into my room, too. It stayed on the wall above the doorway all day, so I had to do a little dash nearly every time I came in and out, or else it might fall on me. :ohnoes: Thankfully, it didn't drop. Later, I tried shooting rubber bands at it to make it move away but I couldn't make it budge with my bad aim. During the night, it crawled into tong-grabbing range, so I tried to get it, but the centipede escaped. My Dad, however, came to the rescue and caught, roasted, and served up the centipede for dinner. J/K, we just threw it away after roasting.
