[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]House centipedes are kind of great -- they kill nearly every other type of arthropod (and spiders!) and are naturally shy and afraid of people. I HATE spiders, so I do not mind the occasional centipede in my basement. In all likelihood, the recent VERY dry weather forced it into your kitchen to find moisture. Now that it's been raining again, I doubt you'll see any upstairs for a long time. They really do avoid spaces where there are people.[/quote] Parents: consider this: your child could die from a Black Widow or Brown Recluse spider bite. Both of these venemous spiders are native to the DMV. They will sicken an adult, but can kill an infant or small child. House centipedes hunt and kill both types of these spiders. They also eat cockroaches and termites. I usually transport them outside or to the garage so they can keep killing far more loathe some bugs.[/quote]
