Hello dear mylot friends,

It is strange that centipedes should pay me a visit in my small kitchen for quite few times though I live on the fifth floor on campus. In most cases, they are found in the sink of my kitchen as well as my bathroom. But just a few days ago, one was found in my rice bag when I opened my bag rice. How come they arrive at my apartment is something I have to think about. I guess that they probably come through the water pipes. Centipedes can be very dangerous once bitten by them.

Have you had any similar experience or case that I have experienced?

Thank you a lot in advance for your response, my dear mylot fellows. Take care!

Unfortunately, we have spiders. Lately, they have been the yellow garden spiders and then some. I've found a few brown ones. I am allergic to any kind of bite so this sucks. We have called the orkin man and so far we haven't seen a bunch around. I took a fuzzy pic of one that I took when running away from the computer. I will try and post it for you. I think ours has come from the weather warming up, and spring righ here! Hope you get rid of your problem. If you use a bowl of Vinegar under your sink, you will see less of them. They don't like the taste or smell of it. Good Luck to you!

Hello peedielyn. I am very happy to read your response that is helpful in getting rid of the bugs by using vinegar. I never thought of it and I think that it is a good idea to do so because it sounds reasonable. I will give it a try.

Yeah, I dislike spiders and I always have some tiny spiders in my room. I have no idea where they come from. They always appear on one of the walls of my bedroom. A better way for me to get rid of them is to give the room a thorough cleaning, I guess.

Also I wish you could have ways to remove those spiders with good luck. Take care, friend.

Only a few spiders now and again my friend.

And skunks that crawl into the crawl space under the house.

They stink but are not dangerous.

I am sorry to hear of this problem.

Yes, they can be poisonous and very scary the centipedes.

I once lived in a house where there were snakes in the rocks that would come into the house and also the dangerous black widow spider.

One of the spiders was right near my sons head..omg!


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 214 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

It was very scary to have a snake inside. It was a few years back when there was a snake of about fifteen inches when I was living in a single room on the top floor of our school building. I was freaked out at it and was forced to drive it out of my room. Finally I got it and it was gone for good and I felt safe again in that room. I think that it climbed into my room all the way along the water pipe outside my room. Take care, friend.

None dangerous but i do remember one night there was this strange noise in my room when i was 10. I turned the light on and saw this big creepy mantis in my turtle's terrarium and i was surprised and didn't even want to remove it because it wasn't a pleasant experience.


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 214 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Oh, mantis is a scary bug to me, especially its big pair of saws.

Yup i got centipedes here in my house. And also snakes living under our house. I don't know where the hell they come from and i want to get rid of them as soon as possible because they freaking me out. I can't sleep well at night because of fear of being bitten by a snake or centipedes while im sleeping. I call the zoo to get rid of the snake and i call my friend to help me get rid of centipedes.


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 214 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

I can understand that it is absolutely not safe to sleep when you know there are dangerous creatures in the house. I have the same feeling as you do. Take care, friend.

Eeeuuuuuwwwww !!! i hate those creepy crawlies, too... especially the ones that sting and bite like centipedes... angry
i usually (but not often) find them crawling on our toilet wall or toilet floor..
so i think they must've crawled in thru' the pipes, or drains... (do they like 'wet' surroundings?)
and normally the ones i've found are just tiny ones.. but they really move very fast, and it's quite a challenge to get rid of them.. i normally just 'throw' water at them and wash them down the pipe/drain again... wink


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 214 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

It is a good way to water at it all the way down the drain or pipe again. I agree that centipedes like wet surroundings. That's why they can be often found in such a place. Take care, friend.

myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 214 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

I think that it might be related to my location of the building, which is very close to a small river with a lot of reeds and bamboo outside my location.

This is horrible to see this kind of bugs at home. There are not such kind of insects at my home. Sometimes I will see little cockroaches at my home and occasionally there are a few mosquitoes and that's all. If I ever see the centipedes, I think I will try all methods to get rid of them from my home.

Hello youless. I am glad that you have never had centipedes in your home. There are a few times in a year they come to my apartment on campus. I am glad that I see them each time one gets in. Otherwise it is hard to imagine the result bitten by one. Have a good time, youless.

The one in your photo doesn't seem like a centipede. It's more like that hairy caterpillar that can cause rashes if you come in contact with the hair. Oh well...no biggie.lol

Anyway, yes we get those centipedes too. Sometimes, scorpions however rare. My father almost stepped on a venomous snake when he was out walking in the backyard. He managed to keep himself still and waited for the snake to slither away. But I bet it scared the life out of him!evil grin

We all have those cricket-looking bugs as well which they say are fond of going into the underwear of boys because according to many, it is attracted by the smell of that "zone"!rofl Bad thing is it bites and causes a rather big rash,.


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 214 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Cricket-looking bugs are awful if they love to go into boys' underwears. So I think that underwears should be carefully checked before wearing them.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Theresaaiza (3375)   ranked 441 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

No, they sneak into the genital region of a male. roflThey're not just after the underwear!lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 214 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Really? It freaks me out, but I am lucky that we don't have such a kind of species here in our region. I hope you did not have such an experience though. lol

Hi, williamjisir. I think that my grandmother used to have these insects come out of her tub. They would just be sticking on the tub. It looks like a snail. I think that this is the same thing that you are referring to. If I see any of them, I will get rid of them as fast as I can. Be careful as you come near these insects.surrender

Hello cream. Thank you for the response and I will be careful with these bugs. Take care.

With the coming of the monsoons, we’ll soon see millipedes walking all around though I must say that 5th floor is quite high up. I’ve seen them walking around in my 3rd floor apartment so I guess two floors up is OK with them and centipedes. However, the red ones that walk around here are ugghhhh definitely but absolutely harmless. The only problem is that you have to be careful that they don’t crawl into the ears while sleepingfear


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 214 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Yeah, it is better to be alert than not. Take care, friend.
