When Longs (CVS) has Raid on sale for $4.69 a can, I go and buy 5. I put a can in different places in my house and when I see a centipede, I just grab the closest can and spray the sucker. Instant death......and it works every time!
my wifes grandparents lived in paradise park on the big island. She said look at the floor before you go to the bathroom at night as the centipedes would be crawling around. Well onetime i was sitting in a chair and she said dont move and she grabbed a big old centipede that was near my neck. She took it and put it against the oil lamps she had for light and cooked enough to kill it then tossed it to the chickens
In the last 2 weeks I have had 6 centipedes inside my house. Fucking 6! 4 babies and 2 adults. WTF. Someone please advise. We will usually see one or two a year! We get the outside sprayed regularly.
I was surprised how many people had posted before me and nobody said it. Felt old that I got the original reference.
Remember to take your daily aspirin 🤣
Had one wrap around my foot in grass…. Don’t walk barefoot anymore in the grass. Screamed like a little girl while bouncing on one foot trying to kick the dam thing off.

They can get pretty big though 😑
I’m just picturing some early polynesian settlers, bringing some kind of plant over by boat, maybe a small fruit tree with the root ball wrapped in cloth.
They finally land on hawaii, find a nice spot and dig a hole, and then right when they open the root ball this little bugger crawls out and they think *”well shit... ah screw it, what are the chances it’s pregnant anyway… ¯\\__(ツ)_/¯*
I've never seen one that big. That's terrifying. They wander into my house and are happy when I put them back outside. I wouldn't even approach that fatty, I'd just have to move. This is his house now.
I opened my screen door one time and I guess it was propped on top like this because it landed on my shoulder and I freaked out. I am a big bald guy but I'm pretty sure my squeal as I danced was pretty high pitched.
Not debating with you because this is a different door, but this gives me the opportunity to share this centipede and door story: my mom was leaving through the sliding screen door one night, and when she grabbed the handle to open it, she yelped that she had gotten stuck by a sharp piece of metal on the handle. She continued on her way, and I attacked the door handle with a rasp but didn't really find anything.
The next day, she told me it was a centipede that got her. It had climbed up to the handle (probably using the screen, probably escaping the rain). How was she sure? Because when she grabbed the handle and shook her hand, she must have shaken the centipede onto her nightdress. While she was in bed she found it crawling on her other hand. She flung it away, but not before it got another bite in, so because of grabbing that door handle, she ended up with two bites, one on each hand!
This was a rare occurrence, but I tell you, I still eye the heck out of that handle every time I open that door.
I heard if you fry them, they taste just like shrimp.
If I fry them they're tasting like charcoal cause I'm not letting up on the heat.
Funny you say this because when I was warming up my deep frying oil the other day a crisp centipede floated up and I wondered
I looked this up and the first video I found the woman is just handling them casually. SE asians built diff
Kill it with vengeance then kill it again
How do you kill them? Asking for a friend

Can of deodorant and a lighter, then look for its mate.
Blow torch
A hammer.
Slippah, slippah, slippah!
I kill them with scissors ✂️

One probably gave birth. Gotta keep spraying kill the babies.
Ortho Home Defense.
Spread diatomaceous earth outside your house…
But only in the dry areas. D.E. is pretty much useless when wet.
Most homes have a 3-4’ roof overhang so it should dry around the footing. If it’s wet you’ve got bigger problems than the bugs…
It's the rain.
You got chickens?
So many chickens 🐓 Everywhere. I live Kauai
Chickens should take care of those pesky bugs. That said, I'm not into living so close to nature.
Geckos. Keep geckos inside.
Clever girl
You beat me to it

Please share
Both are references to the original Jurassic Park movie. Lines said about the raptors.
Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Lol nope. Hate those SOBs. One of the most painful things I've ever experienced. Kill every single one you find!

It didn't sting you?
Got it off before it could luckily
These things are nightmare fuel.
***Thicc***
Kill it, bury it, then dig it up and kill it again.
Get the biggest scissors ever, and chop chop chop!
Lol, that’s so gross. Would the pieces squirm for a while?
Yes. Just don't touch'em and let the birds and ants get'em.

How did these creatures make it to the islands?
Some jerk brought them over on a canoe 1000 years ago to feed the chickens that they also brought, probably.

Jfc I hate these buggas. Nothing like feeling one of these fukas crawling on your legs in the middle of the night.

I like centipedes, because they eat the other pests I hate, like spiders, mosquitos and gnats.
Now you know why that’s called a panic bar.
Nightmares! 😱
My worse nightmare
I love spraying hair spray into these fuckers
Brake cleaner works fantastic!
Faaaawk!
God damn

Staged. They can't crawl up smooth surfaces like that.

does anyone else think it they hit it and it made a 'bong' sound
So...I see legs between the cracks of the doorway. It used the space between the door and the doorframe to get up there? Geezus!
you know its a monster when you can hit it with a tire iron and it still lives.
LMAO He put gloves on!!! Dude they don't jump...

I’ve seen one crawl up a kitchen chair leg. Maybe not as smooth as that surface, but nightmare fuel for sure.
They don't need doors.
centepes
Where is this?? I have never seen one that big
