Awww fuck... second centipede in two days

[TimeChaser]

x( I hate those things so much, I have a phobia of them.

It used to be so bad that I couldn't kill them myself or I couldn't stay near where I'd seen one. I even used to have a hard time with books that had pictures of them.

I'm better now, but I still shake sometimes thinking about them x(

1. Aaargh! Just killed a third

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Hmmm...I suppose I might wonder just how they're getting in......

And try to stop them from doing so.....

In the meantime, you are overcoming your phobia, aren't you?

Good for you!

:applause:

:hug:

[TimeChaser]

3. No idea how they're getting in

Or they might just live in the walls or something... I just don't want to see them x(

6. Spray the entire perimiter of your house with liquid diazinon.

I make it a little stronger than recommended.(understatement)

4. Argh! Number four...

13. Forget the bottom of your shoe...

call Terminex. It sounds like your house is composed of tree bark and dried leaves.

[TimeChaser]

14. We'll probably do that

I haven't told my parents how many I killed last night x(

5. House centipede or a highly venomous variety?

House centipedes are gray/white, venemous ones are usually red, orange, black, or a combination of those.

The reason I ask is because house centipedes are beneficial. I think they eat roaches and other nasty insects. In other words, no matter how much they creep you out, don't kill them unless they're in your bedroom.

8. I know that they're house centipedes

And I know that they won't hurt me, but I honestly can't function normally if I know I've left one alive in the house. I hate phobias x(

7. They're fucking nasty.

I squashed an old-timer that was as thick as a pencil. Crunch! Eeeew! It's about the time of year they come out.

10. ah, our little many-legged, high protein friends

lemme know if you want I should find some recipes for them....

[TimeChaser]

12. That just cause a literal shiver down my spine...

and not the good kind.

[Smooth Operator]

15. I killed one in the office

after one of the ladies literally screamed bloody murder, it left a red spot on the rug that won't come out. Btw it was red and 2 inches long.

[Roon]

16. LOL! I never had a problem with them

But my ex used to FREAK out when he saw them! He said he hated the way they moved.

[Atmashine]

17. Eww...bugs!

[Taverner]

18. Was it the poisonous kind?

In Thailand we had the kind that could kill someone just by walking on them.

Nasty fuckers those Cent's...
