It rly depends on what u're used to already. I suppose if u've never had any bugs in your house whatsoever, than any infestation would creep u the fuck out. I've had these around my house for years... I used to kill them on sight with my slipper. But then one day I saw a cockroach inside... and I felt a lot more disgusted, not because the centipedes look any better but because I've never had roaches... I squashed the damn thing to the wall, no mercy! But that was the day I stopped killing the centipedes on sight.
Aman Ocampo If you break a back bone.... you disable the animal you broke the back of... But you can cut these fuckers in half... and they will keep going...
Butterflies? You didn't think too much about your comment before posting, huh? Always in a rush to try to sound funny, with the result of the internet remembering your stupidity.
Well, at least you admit, albeit half-heartedly, that your comment was idiotic. EDIT: Just so we're clear, unless you delete your comment, it will remain on the internet, thus never being forgotten. We both know YT is full of idiots. Do you really want to join/remain in their ranks?
My 2 years old baby boy loves to catch these creatures. Also when he sees one, he grab them bare hand and throws towards his mom or anyone near. This is the reason everyone hates him. 😧
That is hilarious! You should look into the"Big Book of Bugs" your son might have an interest for the tiny critters. He might love the book and the big pictures!
I’d be pretty careful letting him touch centipedes. Some can be venomous/poisonous and if they’re all not I’ve been bitten by a few thin orange ones and it’s not a good feeling at all
They can tiny leave incisions on your skin and when they are in distress they spew their poison into the tiny incisions causing very irritated skin. They're cute tho
I never step on centipedes cuz the giant ones here will flip over and relentlessly attack whatever touches them and they're big and strong and very venomous
I lived in an old 6 unit studio apartment building & my apt. had a bunch of them. I would find one once in awhile crawling across the carpet & I could see a couple dead ones way up in the light fixture. And once, I freaked out walking up to one crawling across my face! For real. UG! My apt. was clean, though, and I never saw bedbugs or roaches, tg.
There were giant centipedes on the island where I used to work, their bite is one of the most painful in the animal kingdom, it can also give you a fever. :)
House centipedes are the ugliest things Ive ever seen. I ived in a place that had them. They are fast and come out in the dark. Horrifying to wake up and see a huge one on the wall.
Centipedes often eat roaches, so what's your choice? Also, these tiny bugs are nothing compared to the tropical centipedes found here in Hawaii. These grow to 1.5 feet long, and to kill one, you need the bug on cement and a hammer in hand.
Thats funny your not looking I've seen on Kauai 6+inches and have seen many on Maui up to 5" was stung by one in Ohana on foot Hurt worse than Midwest Yellow Jacket Foot was sore for two days. I routinely capture inside ones and release to the outdoors the same with the cane spiders which routinely get to 6" leg spread. But I let the house geckos reside although they routinely scold me.
im sure some people could stick a hawaiian centipede in their mouth and crunch it or take one in their hands and twist it and crush it but for the 99.9% of the people out there who are even capable of killing a hawaiian centipede a hammer on concrete would be by far the most efficient way to kill them. they get a little bigger than roaches out west and i know from personal experience that a hammer on concrete is the only practical way to kill these things. stomping one them with boots is still absolutely revolting to me and it dont even kill them. we talking about an insect thats 5 inches long and not as sick as 4 pencils bundled together. its not that they are so big its because they are so tough. they are harder than the sole of a boot.
Step*, step on a centipede. I feel like standing implies you stepped on it already and are now stationary with your foot over the centipede's dead body for an extended period of time. Praise the sun.
Caught one with my knife, too lazy to pick it up after and the other half of it was gone the next morning. Continued on to burning my house down. You can find me on the corner by the highway spreading my story.
So... Yeah I'm reading the comments trying not to actually look at the pics in the video 😂 they are freaky looking but kinda dumb. Turn in the lights and they freeze instead of scurry
NicNacAttack, I mean at that point if the lights are on they have to make themselves as least noticable as possible and well moving around doesn't really help doing that, they will run once you get within a couple inches from it because then it assumes you've found it. Overall standing completely still would be the SMARTEST thing for it to do in that situation.
This is one of the first videos I've seen that actually tells the truth about these cute little guys. I have "backgrounds" in arthropodology and entomology so this made me super happy lol. Thank you for shedding light on one of my favourite little house guests!
ikr, those are short centipedes with very long legs... the ones i've encounyered were long, with shorter legs and with 2 large black fangs, theyre waaaay scarier than the ones on the video...
Im sorry but both of ye must be fairly disturbed to do something like that. They're defenceless and you kill them just to get rid of them? Id try my best to not step on an ant if i saw one. These "scary/disgusting" creatures dont mean any harm. This is whats wrong with the world... Edit: Please dont harm any creatures, if you dont like them in their location, just remove them with a stick or something dont kill them.
I seen 3 in my house in the past 2 years they really are scary! I was stuck in my washroom for 10 mins with one. I was so scared because it was just sitting on my door was scared to leave because I thought it’d fall on me.
If you have children, don’t pass on your fears. If you act like they’re terrible, your children will believe they are. Children aren’t scared of spiders, snakes, insects etc until you teach them to be afraid. I personally love bugs and am grateful for it.
Otto Mercer. That may or may not work. Nobody passed on their fear to me. I've always been freaked out by certain bugs (and snakes!) even when I was growing up and my father would tell me certain things wouldn't hurt me and my fear has gotten worse as I've gotten older.
Wait these are centipedes??? First and last time I saw one scurrying across my floor I grabbed the nearest stack of books and just dropped them on it like an anvil.
Hey at that time I just came back from a shower and saw this black thing with a gajillion legs longer than its body slinking its way through my floor what was I supposed to do 😂😂😂 it looked like a mutant alien I swear. Didn't know what it was until today when I saw this vid lol
Rosè II I'll rescue any bug but I used to actually hunt & kill these bastards in my garage. Silverfish too. They may be beneficial but I hate them more than any bug.
Carmel Gold-Fanning the house that I used to live had them. The bathroom door was right in front of the door. One night I was washing my hands and I happened to look behind me and see one walking over the door. Had to be about 4 inches long. Legs big as hell. I just froze waiting for it to disappear into a crack.
This still doesn’t make me feel bad for the one I killed in my apartment last week. I will pick up the raid and spray them :( sorry 😐 Mind u it’s even worst after u said they have venom 😂😂😂
thats cause those are the japanese ones.... >.> everything from asia and australia are monsters. the ones here in NC (in america) are very fragile, you could just hit with something and all its legs will crumble off.
Well shit here in the Philippines creepy crawlies die by getting stopped or smashed by a footwear just like centipedes we just wear slippers and then we stomp/jump on it
You're seriously the only comment amongst over a thousand that has any type of common sense! LOL I think they're creepy as fuck but I have enough common sense to understand that they are truly beneficial to our own habitat in the house since they kill all the bugs that we don't want in our living space!
fatboyRAY24 no you don't understand... they kill ALL other bugs in your house and I mean all! They're vicious predators, the eat anything they come across poisonous and all! So why not keep them especially if you only have to see them maybe once a week vs seeing all the other bugs infest your house you know what I mean? And they don't hurt you and they're not a nuisance and they don't get into your clothes or you're bed or into your food or cabinets. They stay in dark damp places and kill all other pests so yeah I think my logic is pretty common sense?
They're terrifyingly creepy and should go back to the Mediterranean region! At 3 feet per second, I wonder how long it would take them to get back there provided there wasn't an ocean in the way? LOL! Also, at that speed, who do you think would win a foot race... a centipede or an American Cock Roach (who runs equivalent to 220 +/- mph)? I have a huge phobia of creepy crawlers! Ewwww! 😖 Time to watch a different video. LOL!
I'm originally from Illinois and I moved to Puebla City, Mexico. The species of house centipede here is similar, just a bit smaller. I keep them in my kitchen and bathrooms where most pest insects tend to sneak into the house. They tend to hide most of the daytime, so, unless they're preying...you likely won't even know they're in your house. Warmth is not the only reason the enter homes. They also enter homes if they notice a home has a lower foundation(they love porches or places close to grass and soil indoors) or they simply enter because they know you have insects inside for them to eat. Considering they are fast enough to catch and kill roaches, venomous wolf spiders, and even small hornets...yes...you should NOT kill them. I could give this same lecture about spiders too...I don't kill my spiders, because they keep the home and patio clean.
No backbones? Really ?! You must be kidding me. Are there any other invertebrates among the worlds more than 1,300,000 species that also do not have backbones?
I have a rule with my centis. they can live in my house but they are to fucking stay away from my bedroom and bathroom if they wish to still have all their legs when they come out of those rooms. however saying that I like the creepy fucks. a bunch of roaches hitched a ride to my new apartment from my old getto apartment and I was freaking out about them. but the centis and roach trap combo worked wonders.
I saw one of these, it tried running away, since it was an cupboard, it barely had any where to run so it tried running by getting past me, i was literally jumping as much as possible, scariest experience ever.
Crystal Smith that's why albino people get purged and why ugly children get left at orphanages. They just get stepped on by people like you. Haha just kidding i guess
I woke up to one on my ceiling over the foot of my bed.. I watched it not knowing what it was for like 10 mins until it started to move towards the head of my bed.. As i realized what it was it dropped right on top of me and i fucking freaked.. I prefer daddy long legs.. They catch flies and rarely drop from their corners
Red Yes because I'm sure a person squishing a bug that causes them stress is the same as someone making fun of an albino person. People like you are the ones protesting for animals while at the same time schools are being shot up. "Uh durr animals deserve to live too". Shut your stupid ass up.
Angel Sarabia Well if you want to send a message you can be a nasty ass and leave it's carcass on the wall as an example to the others but I'm pretty sure the already squished one learned it's final lesson! Don't get caught!
I don't care what purpose centipedes serve or how interesting they are. If I find one in my house its dead. I lived in a few places were Id see them regularly and they are terrifying when they get really big. Honestly Id rather deal with spiders then have centipedes around me. I have four cats and a min pin who help me keep an eye out for them. I'm a centipedes worst enemy and I will destroy them if they come near me.
i have an infestation of centipedes. turn on the light in my basement and they scatter. can u explain why this is a problem? i dont get bit and i think my dogs were about the only dogs in the state that didnt have bad fleas last year or ticks the year before
Had one of these a year ago climbing on my ceiling. I said "don't you fall on me". So it climbed above me and fell on me. My chair did not survive the beating. My hope is it didn't either.
I'd rather see a centipede than a Black Widow, at least within the walls of my house. One thing useful about centipedes is that they can lead you to areas with plentiful seeds/plants. Good for alchemists like myself.
I think she meant herbalist, which is kinda the same thing as traditional alchemy since you're using chemicals (that you get from plants) to do things. The ingredients for drugs often are plant extracts after all. But one does not simply call it alchemy, even if a few centuries ago it might have been called alchemy xD That's like calling scientists wizards, doctors alchemists and soldiers knights cx
Centipedes are scary a year ago i didnt realized a centipede crawled up into my shirt while studying then i feel tickle when the centipede goes out of my shirt i quickly grabbed the centipede then throw if out my heart is like beeping so heart and i think im gonna die its far most scariest experience i've gone so far
Ok, but I don't appreciate waking up in the middle of the night to roll over and get more comfortable only to find one of these things a foot away from my face. God forbid I wake up to find one crawling on me or that I squished one while sleeping and now have its guts and twitching legs all over me. No thanks
Dragon Heart same but add small moths.. they annoy the fuck out of me and we have tons of them in our house for no reason... the annoying things keep flying at my face and getting stuck behind my glasses... and they also fly in front of my screen causing me to get distracted especially if i’m playing a game
I found one of these house centipedes while I was having a shower... I put it aside because I thought it drowned but when I look at it again 5 minutes later it moved to another location. Shit they are scary, ended up biting me.
this ad paid for by centipedes

Use buckshot just to be safe
Bug spray?? You mean my Shotgun.

ToxicLoving Your right they require a bigger tool for the job, it's always bug hunting season for me..happy hunting!
Apple 1 maybe after getting 25kills streak with the shotty😁😁😂
*centipedes have no backbones*
So?
Why would that change my mind lol.
Aman Ocampo
If you break a back bone.... you disable the animal you broke the back of...
But you can cut these fuckers in half... and they will keep going...
That's why you curb stomp its ass so you literally blow his brain out it's head
loool
Aman Ocampo Right? What about it's organs and it's brain?
Noel Velázquez Can’t keep going if its a liquid
A house centipede made this video
Ha! "Brought to you by your local NAAC (National Alliance (for the) Advancement (of) Centipedes..." Good one!
If it has more than 4 legs it's gotta go.
Rules to live by
Butterflies? You didn't think too much about your comment before posting, huh? Always in a rush to try to sound funny, with the result of the internet remembering your stupidity.
MrSlanderer No one is going to remember either of us on this video. If they do I hope they tell the tale.
Well, at least you admit, albeit half-heartedly, that your comment was idiotic.
EDIT: Just so we're clear, unless you delete your comment, it will remain on the internet, thus never being forgotten. We both know YT is full of idiots. Do you really want to join/remain in their ranks?
MrSlanderer you're the idiot here. Nobody gives a shit other than you you crazy bitch
This dude sounds like Fred from Scooby Doo lol
antwon369 you so right though 😂
Its Probably the guy that plays his character 😂
antwon369 "It's time to see who this Centipede Monster really is."
Can't unhear it lol.
That’s really funny
The real question is, who would stand on a centipede
not me lol
Ikr? Not I. That was clickbait to try to explain why centipedes are good for getting rid of other nasty bugs
Wiggle my giggleo I once found on outside I ask my friends to keep a eye on it while I get a lighter and some spray
Yeah...,ewww the crunch and pop of it’s organs and brain I can’t stand on bugs🤮
never was convinced not to smash em dead.
nice try, though
Smashed a HUGE one, this morning. It was in my shop and a customer INSISTED i end its life. I obliged
This is y aliens haven’t come to earth... they saw this and were like NOPE
Captain Teeko id think house centapedes are aliens
My 2 years old baby boy loves to catch these creatures.
Also when he sees one, he grab them bare hand and throws towards his mom or anyone near.
This is the reason everyone hates him. 😧
That is hilarious! You should look into the"Big Book of Bugs" your son might have an interest for the tiny critters. He might love the book and the big pictures!
Clever stanley Id beat dat kid or eat him my offspring my meal. 😂😂 fight me
I’d be pretty careful letting him touch centipedes. Some can be venomous/poisonous and if they’re all not I’ve been bitten by a few thin orange ones and it’s not a good feeling at all
They can tiny leave incisions on your skin and when they are in distress they spew their poison into the tiny incisions causing very irritated skin. They're cute tho
I don't blame then
They can do whatever they want outside, but anything with that many legs in my house dies
Hot Cosby, absolutely. Inside the homestead is off limits to creepy crawlers.
Never "stand on" a centipede? Who talks like that
Jacob Halton centipedes
I never step on centipedes cuz the giant ones here will flip over and relentlessly attack whatever touches them and they're big and strong and very venomous
Maui Randall remind me to never move wherever you live. Where may that be again now??
You must not be stepping hard enough.
Jacob Halton that was the only reason I watched the video
A house with a centipede or two will not have roaches or bedbugs. This is a good thing.
I lived in an old 6 unit studio apartment building & my apt. had a bunch of them. I would find one once in awhile crawling across the carpet & I could see a couple dead ones way up in the light fixture. And once, I freaked out walking up to one crawling across my face! For real. UG! My apt. was clean, though, and I never saw bedbugs or roaches, tg.
Silkendrum it’s also a nuisance
I see both
SF Bup Toad your house is triflin that's y clean up
Your Daddy since I did I haven't seen them since
As long as I never see it, it can live in my home.
Same. I don’t care about centipedes or roaches but the thought of a scorpion or poisonous spider or something like that 😰
hell no
Same
Agreed and as long as it dosn't harm any of my pets we're good.
There were giant centipedes on the island where I used to work, their bite is one of the most painful in the animal kingdom, it can also give you a fever. :)
Gotta throw the whole house away now.
Whew! Thanks alot, I was just about to go stand on a centipide that i found in my house.
Oh lord please don't let this show up in my house i'll legit cry
if u look for them, you will find them.
I had a humongous one in my old house the antennas alone were like the length of a ruler I swear...and they’re fasttt af
Lover of Jesus OMFG
Lover of Jesus holy fuck,Jesus christ

I remember finding mukade when I lived in Japan and oh Lord I hate those demons.
Dont google it. Dont
NOPE, I CANT SLEEP TONIGHT. SLEEPING IN THE CRIB WITH MY BABY.
Dont let this distract you from the fact that centipedes are the worst nightmare of my worse nightmare (spiders)
The Architect Of The Hounds I ain’t scared of spiders but I am of centipedes, I really wish I could find a spider to kill this one in my home
Who else is just listening and not actually looking at the video?? 😖🙈
alxM3 I don't want to look at it 😂
Yo.

You use the hammer to smack their heads?

Praise the sun.
Praise the sun indeed Michael Allen
halfway through this vid and not hearing a single reason not to stomp the disgusting things
Sighs Internally They kill spiders, bed bugs, silverfish ETC. They kill most household bugs.
" Nuke it from orbit ...its The only way to be sure "
Tk4211 "is this a stand up fight sir, or another bug hunt?"
LMAO
Caught one with my knife, too lazy to pick it up after and the other half of it was gone the next morning. Continued on to burning my house down. You can find me on the corner by the highway spreading my story.
TheOfficialSamoan Stoner ohhh no baby
Stand on it? Like, assuming it would hold my weight?
XD
Lol
Sheldon Cooper centipedes are very strong instents. They can carry over 100x their own weight
aka Amy true
aka Amy but 100X it's *OWN* weight
Who sets out, to stand on a bug. Most people do not seek out bugs to stand on, you just stumble upon that opportunity.
I stand corrected, while you stand on a bug.
They got venom?? OH HELL NO SHOULDN’T HAVE TO ME THAT SIR.. HONEY.. WHERES MY SUPER SPRAY?!!
7.8/10 Too many legs.
two minecraft pros your dumb
J Lewis Hate to be that guy, but it's "you're"
I thought about buying a centipede to put inside my home when I discovered they eat bed bugs... Bed bugs are the worst pests of all.
They also eat roaches.
Silkendrum eww, but definitely useful.
It's Ya Girl, Jesus' Wife your only solution for bed bugs is burn everything you have
destructo lol , true
Eeeeeeeeeeewww
So... Yeah I'm reading the comments trying not to actually look at the pics in the video 😂 they are freaky looking but kinda dumb. Turn in the lights and they freeze instead of scurry
Lol! I also scrolled down to avoid the video
NicNacAttack me too! I have my hand over it!!
NicNacAttack, I mean at that point if the lights are on they have to make themselves as least noticable as possible and well moving around doesn't really help doing that, they will run once you get within a couple inches from it because then it assumes you've found it.

This is one of the first videos I've seen that actually tells the truth about these cute little guys. I have "backgrounds" in arthropodology and entomology so this made me super happy lol. Thank you for shedding light on one of my favourite little house guests!
I HATE centipedes! Every time I see one my skin crawls! 😶😓
Damian when centipedes see you their skin walks
Ches Phendshil Hahahaha! 😂😂😂😂
That's why punctuation is important
Ive never seen a centipede like that.
ikr, those are short centipedes with very long legs... the ones i've encounyered were long, with shorter legs and with 2 large black fangs, theyre waaaay scarier than the ones on the video...
your lucky these things are creepy af. SUPER fast and they get huge
These are house centipedes
Andy Shi not in my house..lol ive never seen one till this video..
Mike Oberholtzer
Me too! I’m used to long azz red bodied things. IDK
Too many legs 🙅🏾♂️
Is burning them okay?
Mystic Brush not a good option
Freddy and Funtime Foxy I torture any bug that comes in my house then I tell them go tell your friends!
Vinci'sProphet👽 you make absolutely no sense
Freddy and Funtime Foxy 😂 i wasn't trying to make sense though and this whole comment section doesn't make sense 🤷🏾♂️
Vinci'sProphet👽 lol
I grab a napkin and smush em' but I'm also terrified while I do it.
FierceDeityRick I just cought one in a cup and let it suffocate or starve took a few days
a clear plastic cup I hope?? What if it runs away when you check?
Im sorry but both of ye must be fairly disturbed to do something like that. They're defenceless and you kill them just to get rid of them? Id try my best to not step on an ant if i saw one. These "scary/disgusting" creatures dont mean any harm. This is whats wrong with the world...
Edit: Please dont harm any creatures, if you dont like them in their location, just remove them with a stick or something dont kill them.
FierceDeityRick When I see it on a wall, there will be a hole in less than a second
they are so damn fast
So they keep unwanted guests out? Do they kill themselves?
Me: throw away the whole planet
I seen 3 in my house in the past 2 years they really are scary! I was stuck in my washroom for 10 mins with one. I was so scared because it was just sitting on my door was scared to leave because I thought it’d fall on me.
Caleb Fowler I wish I had one too
LITERALLY ME. But your lucky cause I see one at least twice a week. I hate my house
saint litt lol grow some balls man they harmless and great protection for any household pest.
I laughed at this so hard but its relatable. Centipedes are scary as heck.
They're good if you like having monster vs. monster fights in your house
T.C. Bramblett i like this comment
"Let them fight!"
if it bites, it dies if in my house.
Greavous Skoger If its in my house uninvited its dead
So true If if it bites I'm gonna burn them
Dzkz _FLAZE so you gonna burn your dog if it bites you? Lol
If it bites it is getting nuked with my deodorant..
Hope you never have any hungry children at your house
*bathes house in cayenne pepper*
I almost started crying just seeing this on my feed 🤮😰😭
I saw “feet”, man this better never happens
Here's a fun fact that you should have learned in kindergarten : bugs don't have bones
Caleb Meilink-Smith they can have exoskeletons
I know, right? I was like, "really? it doesnt have a backbone? does it produce milk to feed its young?..whats an "Insect"?
I've always heard chitin pronounced as "Ky-ten". Never, "Chit-ten".
Morokiin Chiten sounds better. There's a line as to what should be necessary to school people on. This is far across the line.
Bruh your dog looks like Mr pickles.
xXReaperHDXx -
She's a big dork.
It's accepted by the scientific community that Chitin is pronounced kʌɪtɪn phonetically, which is the former. It's not about which sounds better.
Morokiin yh its pronounced 'ky-ten'
Naw man. Them things are too damn big to stay chill with. It dies.
If you have children, don’t pass on your fears. If you act like they’re terrible, your children will believe they are. Children aren’t scared of spiders, snakes, insects etc until you teach them to be afraid. I personally love bugs and am grateful for it.
Finally a person with sense
Jammer6hyyt You replying made me notice I put ‘great full’ instead of ‘grateful’ lol. And for that, I am great full ;)
Otto Mercer. That may or may not work. Nobody passed on their fear to me. I've always been freaked out by certain bugs (and snakes!) even when I was growing up and my father would tell me certain things wouldn't hurt me and my fear has gotten worse as I've gotten older.
Wait these are centipedes??? First and last time I saw one scurrying across my floor I grabbed the nearest stack of books and just dropped them on it like an anvil.
You Murderer !! XD
ch-ris127 yeessss
Hey at that time I just came back from a shower and saw this black thing with a gajillion legs longer than its body slinking its way through my floor what was I supposed to do 😂😂😂 it looked like a mutant alien I swear. Didn't know what it was until today when I saw this vid lol
ch-ris127 LOL!!
Should've left the poor fella, he's like Orkin pest control on crack, I have one who kills all yellow sac spiders, his names Herbert, he's a champ.
Best human repellent ever..
Stand on? Bug spray? No no no.... SLEDGEHAMMER!
I smash it with a flip flop is it OK
Rosè II do it
Rosè II I did that today lmao
i use a fly swatter when i see them on the wall. Super effective
Rosè II I'll rescue any bug but I used to actually hunt & kill these bastards in my garage. Silverfish too. They may be beneficial but I hate them more than any bug.
Flip Flops make the best defence weapons
so that's why I couldn't kill it after 20 stomps.
charlie rivera I found one today I grabbed it with my own hands and threw it outside accidentally ripped its legs off wasn't trying to kill it
I smash these things with ease, they look at me as if im the Thanos towards their race
DEminerDG You must be lying. There is no way it takes 20 stomps to take out a centipede. I think a lot of common house bugs are not vertebrates
You just have to touch one and half of its legs fall off
I saw a centipede in my house the first thing I would say is
....." Damn I just bought this house "
KING BLAZE you gotta throw the whole house away now 😭
Montreal Ford yep .....there is no fighting that thing big or small
Commonly found in bathrooms. I've seen two in my old house, they can get pretty big too..
Carmel Gold-Fanning the house that I used to live had them. The bathroom door was right in front of the door. One night I was washing my hands and I happened to look behind me and see one walking over the door. Had to be about 4 inches long. Legs big as hell. I just froze waiting for it to disappear into a crack.
Aloha from big island they get over a foot long here.
no way they get a foot long..
Ur gay
jrzj omg nononononNONONONONO 😭😭😭 I absolutely hate them, would literally move to another house/go to friend’s place if I saw a 4 inch one
Just stay away don’t get near me
xFaDeD_VeNoMx that’s exactly who they feel about us were like elephants to them
ApocEnt HUMANS NOOO
This still doesn’t make me feel bad for the one I killed in my apartment last week. I will pick up the raid and spray them :( sorry 😐
Mind u it’s even worst after u said they have venom 😂😂😂
D: The Centipede U Killed D: >:(
Kassandria you couldn't just pick it up with your own hands and throw it outside
Kassandria their venom can't kill you
any insect in my house dies, unless its a caterpillar those are cute
The cutest things are always the most evil. You should kill caterpillars more so than centipedes.
If I see a little ant, I dont care. But anything bigger then 1 inch, I get out the flamethrower
Poatatasium Poatatogen PO2 those things are CREEPY!!!!
They are tough alright. We found one at work from a Japan shipment and 3 people stomped it and it wouldn't die until I drove over it with a forklift.
thats cause those are the japanese ones.... >.> everything from asia and australia are monsters. the ones here in NC (in america) are very fragile, you could just hit with something and all its legs will crumble off.
Angel Tovar honestly, thank f*ck they are weak here
Well shit here in the Philippines creepy crawlies die by getting stopped or smashed by a footwear just like centipedes we just wear slippers and then we stomp/jump on it
Hahaha forklift 😂
probably got radioactive during shipment ;)
Witnessed a friend smacking it with his bare hand on the wall, i ran away without saying anything
Memecynical. Ewwww! I've seen people squish scary bugs with their hands. It grosses me out really bad!
Coraline flashback
Our (caribbean) centipedes resemble the desert centipede. Very large and the bite can be severely damaging to infants. Never seen those little ones.
Centipede: *Hi, I'm Carl and I'm cute!*
Me: *Hi Carl! This is my left shoe. He's pretty cute too!*
"Oh look, there's a centipede, let me stand on it"
SAID NO ONE EVER.
I’m a fan. They’re beautiful, beneficial creatures. On the other hand, my wife prefers to appreciate them from afar.
You're seriously the only comment amongst over a thousand that has any type of common sense! LOL I think they're creepy as fuck but I have enough common sense to understand that they are truly beneficial to our own habitat in the house since they kill all the bugs that we don't want in our living space!
Type of logic is this!!!!??? “I keep the creepiest bugs around the house to kill all of the smaller less creepy bugs.” I’m gone 😂😂😂
fatboyRAY24 no you don't understand... they kill ALL other bugs in your house and I mean all! They're vicious predators, the eat anything they come across poisonous and all! So why not keep them especially if you only have to see them maybe once a week vs seeing all the other bugs infest your house you know what I mean? And they don't hurt you and they're not a nuisance and they don't get into your clothes or you're bed or into your food or cabinets. They stay in dark damp places and kill all other pests so yeah I think my logic is pretty common sense?
They eat spiders...hell yeah lol. I see one I leave it be. Spider control in my garage.
Fuck that I'd rather have the spiders
me too, spiders eat other bugs too, and here in Colorado, finding a brown recluse or black widow is rare.
BROB1141 Spiders also eat annoying bugs like flies and mosquitos. They have benefits of being around, too. As long as they arent the posoinous ones.
I don't like either.
I don't mind spiders. They keep the population under control.
They're terrifyingly creepy and should go back to the Mediterranean region! At 3 feet per second, I wonder how long it would take them to get back there provided there wasn't an ocean in the way? LOL! Also, at that speed, who do you think would win a foot race... a centipede or an American Cock Roach (who runs equivalent to 220 +/- mph)?
I have a huge phobia of creepy crawlers! Ewwww! 😖 Time to watch a different video. LOL!
I'm originally from Illinois and I moved to Puebla City, Mexico. The species of house centipede here is similar, just a bit smaller. I keep them in my kitchen and bathrooms where most pest insects tend to sneak into the house. They tend to hide most of the daytime, so, unless they're preying...you likely won't even know they're in your house. Warmth is not the only reason the enter homes. They also enter homes if they notice a home has a lower foundation(they love porches or places close to grass and soil indoors) or they simply enter because they know you have insects inside for them to eat. Considering they are fast enough to catch and kill roaches, venomous wolf spiders, and even small hornets...yes...you should NOT kill them. I could give this same lecture about spiders too...I don't kill my spiders, because they keep the home and patio clean.
Daniel Lindenbaum , I agree but I will kill black widows and brown recluse. I've been bitten by a black widow. .no fun
I think you mean "step on", because "stand on" implies that it can hold up your body weight. English much?
He also mispronounces chitin
No backbones? Really ?! You must be kidding me. Are there any other invertebrates among the worlds more than 1,300,000 species that also do not have backbones?
Your sarcasm was so intense that you made me feel offended, and it wasn't even directed at me.
politicians
I meant non-slimy invertebrates.
They are quite beneficial. I encountered a rather enormous one in my bathroom last night. I just let them hunt around and eat pests.
spindalis79 You are scared of nothing if you aren't scared of this.
I have a rule with my centis. they can live in my house but they are to fucking stay away from my bedroom and bathroom if they wish to still have all their legs when they come out of those rooms. however saying that I like the creepy fucks. a bunch of roaches hitched a ride to my new apartment from my old getto apartment and I was freaking out about them. but the centis and roach trap combo worked wonders.
spindalis79 I would not want to share a prison cell with you
spindalis79 do you consider yourself a pest? 😂😄
spindalis79 Grab a flamethrower!!!
why tf would someone stand. on. a. centipede?
I stand on them bitches for an extra 5 minutes after stomping on em.
Doesn't mean they're amazing, doesn't mean you don't have to bug spray them.
I'm still grabbing my shotgun if I see one.
Clutch McTryhard LMFAO😂
Clutch McTryhard fuck that I’m grabbing the nuclear missiles launcher
Things like this really make me wanna invest in a bb gun to shoot the fast suckers.
I'm grabbing a nuclear bomb
I choose nuke.
Yeah..I'm still killing this demon
giovanni bernal 😂😂 FR
STOP KILLING THIS HE IS NOT BITING
I grew up calling the thing in the pic a silverfish
Angel Gutierrez same here
You from Michigan?! I did too! My mom hates em as she almost drank one..
PureCountryof91 nah new york but i can understand why she wont like them after that lol
Silverfish are different, these are house centipedes
Silverfish are the evil jerks that eat your clothes, house centipedes are the bros that eat the silverfish and save your clothes.
I saw one of these, it tried running away, since it was an cupboard, it barely had any where to run so it tried running by getting past me, i was literally jumping as much as possible, scariest experience ever.
Just saying widex is a very good weapon agains centipedes spiders and other bugs
I don't give a single shit what awesomeness this creature holds, I'm squishing it!!
Crystal Smith that's why albino people get purged and why ugly children get left at orphanages. They just get stepped on by people like you. Haha just kidding i guess
I woke up to one on my ceiling over the foot of my bed.. I watched it not knowing what it was for like 10 mins until it started to move towards the head of my bed.. As i realized what it was it dropped right on top of me and i fucking freaked.. I prefer daddy long legs.. They catch flies and rarely drop from their corners
Red Yes because I'm sure a person squishing a bug that causes them stress is the same as someone making fun of an albino person. People like you are the ones protesting for animals while at the same time schools are being shot up. "Uh durr animals deserve to live too". Shut your stupid ass up.
Yep. Squish them so they can get the message
Angel Sarabia Well if you want to send a message you can be a nasty ass and leave it's carcass on the wall as an example to the others but I'm pretty sure the already squished one learned it's final lesson! Don't get caught!
Why would you stand on a centipede?
Mantana Jansi oh i don’t know, maybe to kill it ???
Unity Viral That called 'step on'.
I don't care what purpose centipedes serve or how interesting they are. If I find one in my house its dead. I lived in a few places were Id see them regularly and they are terrifying when they get really big. Honestly Id rather deal with spiders then have centipedes around me. I have four cats and a min pin who help me keep an eye out for them. I'm a centipedes worst enemy and I will destroy them if they come near me.
House Centipedes are the most horrible looking bugs ever, they are straight out of nightmares!
Yeah I don't even have problems with any bug unless they are on me or my bed and stuff I usually just take bugs back outside
GhostMode Zay Same. Until I found a camel spider the other day.
i have an infestation of centipedes. turn on the light in my basement and they scatter. can u explain why this is a problem? i dont get bit and i think my dogs were about the only dogs in the state that didnt have bad fleas last year or ticks the year before
Those are silver fish
Tloh Bor gross
I don't know dude research that or clear your whole garage and clean that asap 0_o
Tloh Bor 1 word flamethrower
Had one of these a year ago climbing on my ceiling. I said "don't you fall on me". So it climbed above me and fell on me. My chair did not survive the beating. My hope is it didn't either.
I'd rather see a centipede than a Black Widow, at least within the walls of my house.
One thing useful about centipedes is that they can lead you to areas with plentiful seeds/plants. Good for alchemists like myself.
We share the same name 😜😙
klaus william don't be so mean. Alchemy is great. Plus don't judge until you do your full research on it
Amy Carter Dafuq?
Lmao theres no such thing as alchemy in the real world
I think she meant herbalist, which is kinda the same thing as traditional alchemy since you're using chemicals (that you get from plants) to do things.
The ingredients for drugs often are plant extracts after all.
But one does not simply call it alchemy, even if a few centuries ago it might have been called alchemy xD That's like calling scientists wizards, doctors alchemists and soldiers knights cx
Omg a centapide is on me!!!.... Nope just a peice of hair.. Damn you video!!. 😂😂
That happened to me aswell haha
Ariel Lowenberg-cruz same happened to me lol
Ariel Lowenberg-cruz Godammit Futaba
Centipedes are scary a year ago i didnt realized a centipede crawled up into my shirt while studying then i feel tickle when the centipede goes out of my shirt i quickly grabbed the centipede then throw if out my heart is like beeping so heart and i think im gonna die its far most scariest experience i've gone so far
Khairul Nagiub Abdullah now im screwed
Ok, but I don't appreciate waking up in the middle of the night to roll over and get more comfortable only to find one of these things a foot away from my face. God forbid I wake up to find one crawling on me or that I squished one while sleeping and now have its guts and twitching legs all over me. No thanks
I think all life has a purpose the only bugs I will kill are woodticks , mosquitoes and flies , anything else can live if I see it .
Same!
Bed bugs?
Dragon Heart same but add small moths.. they annoy the fuck out of me and we have tons of them in our house for no reason... the annoying things keep flying at my face and getting stuck behind my glasses... and they also fly in front of my screen causing me to get distracted especially if i’m playing a game
Well we know who has bed bugs and roaches..
Litch The Shinigami Moths actually eat spiders so that might be a good thing if you bring the population of the ones in your house down a bit
I found one of these house centipedes while I was having a shower... I put it aside because I thought it drowned but when I look at it again 5 minutes later it moved to another location. Shit they are scary, ended up biting me.
I accidentally stood on a centipede with my bare foot. It was completely unharmed, but very confused.
When I see one, I calm myself down by reminding myself that they don't bite humans and then I grab the heaviest book I can find.
