OMG I HAD CENTIPEDES in the room I was staying in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY LOOKED AXACTLY LIKE THE PHOTO POSTED ughh!! Filthy creatures, I must have seen 6 big ones, and 3-4 baby ones - so nasty, and that was over just one month. I got out of my lease though (thankk goodness!!), and I now live on the main floor of a beautiful house on Sanders Boulevard. DO NOT... if anyone is thinking of getting a room.... GO TO 122 BROADWAY AVENUE, my landlord is wanting to rent out that room again. Yuckiness man.

I'll keep this article in mind if I ever have to live off-campus again.

I used to have a lot of creepy crawlies at the house I was staying at last year. I think the centipedes were the worst and the most frequent I had to deal with. At the beginning when I was staying in the summer, I felt very scared of those creatures. Later on, I got more courage and learned that it's better to kill them off at first sight. You'll feel a lot better than if you know it is around somewhere!

THANK YOU FOR THIS ARTICLE!!!
I have an absolutely enormous fear of Centinpedes. I literally burst into tears at the sight of one (which is quite frequent considering I live in a basement appartment). I wish someone had warned me before I chose to live in a basement that these things are Hamilton's worst enemies.
They're just so disgusting. I try to convince myself that they're just bugs and I'm WAY bigger than them but honestly, they just make me cry!
Remember that commercial for the bug spray stuff where all the bugs march up to the door and they hit the wall of poison and die? That stuff works GGGGREAAATTT!!!! It makes them shrivel up and their legs fall off.
I'm not gonna lie, it's extremely satisfying to watch them suffer.

bounce sheets may contain Limonene which is an irritant and carcinogen. I wouldn't advise rubbing it on an insect bite.

LOL. I thoroughly enjoyed this post.

I'm deathly afraid of insects, especially those... I don't even want to type it out in fear that one might show up. >.>

I have immense satisfaction as well when they die. Cruel but, meh.
