We've got some pretty big centipedes around here, and they're one of very few animals I slaughter ruthlessly without remorse. I have a hammer for the express purpose of braining them. Fuckers don't need an excuse to bite you, they just do. And, they love bedsheets, clothes, etc. Ironically, we also have house centipedes, and they get a pass. They're hideous, sure, but anything that eats cockroach eggs (another one I kill without remorse) is A-OK in my book.
Where do you live? I'd like to know so I can put that on my list of places to not go.
Sorry to tell you that my particular location is pretty much irrelevant. Centipedes and roaches are just about everywhere. The further north you go, the safer you are.
Can confirm. Am north, no centipedes in my clothes or roach eggs in my house.
That you know of.
Centipedes sure but we don't get the big tropical horrors in Europe.
Yet...
Don't move to the American Southeast. Look up palmetto bugs.
Let me put it to you this way:
I would rather slam my fingers in a car door than move to the South.
