What feeling do you have when you spot an insect in your house? You likely
just want to grab something and stomp on them right away, and for
good reason. Some of them can sting you badly and carry harmful poisons.
The creepy ones make you feel the worst; those tiny, scary creatures
with so many legs usually make you want to squish them as soon as possible.
But now that you’ve read this, you might think twice about killing those strange-looking
centipedes when they show up in your toilet next time.
When centipedes are crawling around the house, it can be hard to resist
the urge to squash them. Centipedes can really shock you! But after learning
how helpful they are at home, maybe you’ll just thank them by not killing them anymore.
It turns out these wiggly little creatures have been protecting your home from other tiny bugs.
There’s a special kind of centipede that is shorter than its wormy relatives and has about 20 legs wrapped around its body.
These small critters act like invisible pest control for your home by keeping cockroaches,
spiders, silverfish, bedbugs and ants away! They almost eat every bug they find because of their huge appetite.
Even though centipedes are the good guys here doesn’t mean you should open up your doors wide
for tons of them; it just means if one or two show
up at home next time let them go free as a thank-you gesture.
When found inside they might make some noise especially if kids or even
adults think they’re gross! But instead of squashing them let em go outside to munch on some leaves.
Try not to squash spiders either since doing so could release hundreds of baby spiders into your space which is something no one wants!
Also remember that centipedes aren’t really that bad; they’re just weak little bugs that can’t do much harm besides scaring ya!
If ya think about it more you’ll see they’re actually nice since they don’t spread germs like other insects do.
Centipedes shouldn’t scare ya; they’re mostly harmless but we can’t say the same for others out there! Many nasty diseases caused by certain insects can be very dangerous and even deadly without proper medical help.
You should keep an eye out for those ones! Here’s a few deadly insects you’d rather not meet indoors.
