House centipedes are yucky looking but perform a great service. They're exterminators for others bugs and they don't bother people. Do as pp and relocate them or let them be. :[/img])

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.
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.

A house centipede's legs can run independently after they are broken off. I used to have to kill these every day in an old apartment. If I killed one over my bed, I had to find and extract the legs that hag embedded themselves in my blanket.

And if that was the case, OP should have been more supportive.
Hope there wasn't a nip slip involved.

Ugh, I see one a week. We moved into this house in November and I have no experience with these. We do have a dehumidifier in the basement, but if I forget to empty it, it shuts off.
Is it worthwhile to call an exterminator? I'd rather have a few harmless bugs than a ton of chemicals around.
