House centipedes are by far my biggest fear in life (well, other than tornado's, car accidents, spiders, etc..) OK one of my biggest fears! I always thought they were silverfish, but nope, they are house centipedes and soo very gross! I looked them up on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_centipede they reference the "benefits" of these nasty, 5 million legged insects (really -they have 4 pairs of legs when hatched and can grow up to 15 PAIRS of legs, that's a total of 30 legs for those of you counting, if they live their normal 3 to 7 years, NOT IN MY HOUSE, not staying that long - Not WELCOME!) OK, not only do the legs freak me out...but how about the fact these creepy monsters can run 16 inches PER SECOND, up walls, along the ceiling and floor, way to fast for me to attempt to step on one ...all while they are watching me, yep, watching me...why you ask? because apparently not only are they blessed with way too many legs and fancy speed, but they have well-developed, faceted eyes (....better to see me with)! So the benefit, is apparently they eat spiders, bedbugs, ants, silverfish, roaches, termites (eeesh, nasty diet) and do you want to know how?...by injecting them with a venomous bite (supposedly too "weak" to hurt a human or pet, not testing that theory). Oh, if all this doesn't leave you as petrified, frozen in fear as me, how about they lay an average of 60 to 150 eggs (which do I need to point out...those eggs turn into more legs..heehee rhymes)! So, I will either have to get a cat (recommended by Wikipedia).. (can't do, Ga is too scared of cats), teach Larry & Ga to eat bugs (they have tried, its just cleaning up the vomited bug parts afterwards..hm, maybe not worth it..) dehumidify our house, or live with them, NOT!! ...OK, gotta go... off to get out the dehumidifier!!

eeeek! Eddiiiieee.........kill it!
Screaming for Eddie ...in between complete loss of my breath, panic-stricken, paralyzed in the spot I stand, with a bottle of Windex in my hand, "IT" still continues to crawl and freak me out, although it should have drown by now in the half bottle of Windex I have unleashed upon it! But NO...its legs are still moving!
