our house is not your house. You do not pay rent. So please go away!

Seriously, I always find them in my bathroom, but at least those are easy to kill usually because they're close to the ground.


but right now there's a big one in the kitchen, above a pile of food. I'd throw something at it, but then it'd fall in the food and that's nasty. I can't reeach it either, since it's on the ceiling above the breakfast bar. So now my sister and I are sitting out in the dining room waiting for it to come down.😋

I hate centipedes.

Let's see who's going to kill the bug this time...*goes to bookshelf*

@metaphor Get a vacuum cleaner with the hose attachment and just vacuum it off the ceiling. That kills it and gets rid of the body. It's how I dealt centipedes at my old apartment.

I love centipedes. 8D I don't see them too often, but my sister likes bugs, and I do too.

However, I'll never have a second-thought about killing a spider. Or mosquito. Or fruit fly. Or tick. Seriously, what is the purpouse of having ticks and mosquitos around, anyways? They suck; no pun intended. =.=

There are rats in my house though. And mice. My dad thinks there are squirrels in the attic (but he's always been too afraid to ever set foot up there, so we wouldn't know). My sister found a baby salamder in the front yard a few weeks back, and she's had him ever since. There are deer and coyoties and rabbits and chipmunks and other sorts of creatures, since there's a whole woods behind my house. We even see bats at night. So we get pretty much any common animal except for the centipede. X3

@dreamer I love centipedes AND spiders. fruit flies are awesome and when then land on you, before you swat them away it tickles 😃
