House Centipede

Postby GRAWRG. » Tue Nov 15, 2011 2:50 am

I just saw one crawling up my wall :(

I've never been so scared of anything in my life. I freaked the hug out. Huge. Fast. 30-legged. MONSTER. This is only going to add to my "theres something in my sheets" paranoia...

I finally killed it with a lightsaber because I'm home alone and the alternative was letting it chill in my room. But jesus christ.

i gave up on excluding him from convos when he posted in my topics surveying american-only students, and getting chem help. if he's going to post in topics where he 100% doesnt belong, theres no doubt he'll post here regardless of my swearing.

Ok, you have a lot of creepy thing in your house. Go to the store and get a gallon of Ortho Home Defense. Follow instructions and spray the outside foundation of the house and the inside if you don't have animals.

Also if you have food all over the floors it's time to do some housecleaning and clean up. Bugs won't go into a house where there is no food crumbs.



Since you are 18 now I will gladly come over and help you clean it all up but i will require some sort of restitution :roll: :roll: :roll:


Also make sure to wash at least once a day

Oh boy I despise these little fuckers. They live in my basement and every now and then you will see em on the walls of the steps, bedrooms, in my bathroom, or in the cabinets >.>

I've become quite adept at hunting them, they declared war early in October, it was 6:15 am during my morning shower...

In a nutshell, I saw one in the edge between the wall and ceiling of my bathroom, past the vent, closer to the door than the top of the shower. Being half asleep i decided to ignore it and shower. But as I stood there with the hot water poaring in and the steam rising, I noticed the illegitimate child scurrying over to the shower top, on and off, stopping and going. A little bit of observation and I realized that it was attracted to the steam. Well, poor dude just wants some heat, but if he passes the vent I'm flushing him (down the toilet >:O). Of course, he tried to pass the vent. NOPE. I hop out get some toilet paper and when i try the crush-n-flush, he falls into the shower ;-;

So me and him chase around each other for a short time, eventually I smush him and clean him up. yey.

it's just scary. i dont know why im so scared of it. i want to blame the legs. but im not afraid of normal centipedes. millipedes are kinda gross... but not scary.

i think it's the legs + the way it moves + speed. with normal centipedes, they move their legs smoothly. it's like rolling. and they're a lot smaller. but this hugger had 30 long legs and practically ran.

anyway, yeah. it would suck to run into one in the shower. mainly because my freakout time would subtract from my 15 minutes of hot water. life sucks.

I had a pic of a bug with a bunch of legs I took... must've deleted it.

I did find this pic though (since were kinda on the topic of gross stuff I think I'll post it)...

Image

and yes, I took it (and yes, that mouse was alive).
I had to kill it because all our cat did was sniff it when he got close enough.

Yeah, he was a cute little mouse, but putting him outside would be a bit more complicated, and I don't want to get bitten, especially if it had some sort of disease.

I had a similar experience with a cockroach. I salute you comrade JC.

My story, there's a small crack in the wall of my shower so I'm not entirely unaccustomed to surprise bugs, but it's always just ants. And after spraying it a year ago they were gone and I'd never have to deal with them again, or so I thought. So I got in the shower and turn on the spray, and 5 minutes in a big hugging cockroach runs out of the crack. It hugging charged me, the ants usually scatter when I show up, but this hugging thing mounted an assault. Needless to say I screamed like a little girl. Something about my commotion made it turn and run, but not back into a crack, now it settled into a corner of the tub and stopped moving. I realized the tub was too steep and slippery for it to leave, but it was also trying desperately to avoid the water. Being my peaceful (scared like a I love you man!) self, I figure I'm almost done, I'll just finish up and be on my merry way. But after a little while a small amount of water hit the roach and it went hugging I love puppies. It ran back and forth then tried to run up the side of the bathtub, of course he failed but on his way down he flipped onto his back and got stuck. I still remember his nasty little claws/feet flailing while I had a clear view of his underbelly.

My heart was pounding (again like a little I love you man!) while I just stared at him, and then.. he started sliding. He slid a little closer to me, then a current of water from the shower spray got him and carried him all the way (past me) to the drain where he finally stopped. After all that he's still stuck on his back, but now his head is submerged in water. He was flailing out of control at first but then he slowed down and finally stopped. He hugging drowned, I thought roaches could survive days under water, but this retard committed suicide right in front of me. I finished up my shower with him there, and afterwards I got the toilet paper and crushed that hugger up. It turned out he wasn't dead because he started flailing after I crushed him, but the ordeal was over and I lived to tell the tale.

Wow, duece, nice post! I remember the cockroaches in Texas, they weren't all that bad... dispatched some with my whip :D ... they were huge bugs. What would really frighten me is a big tarantula or something like that, don't like spiders.
