    I smashed a centipede last night. I was down in the basement and it viciously attacked me. Did him in with the heel of my ice fishing boot. Don’t tell em!

    Jason, you rogue citizen; don’t you know there’s no place in our modern society for vigilante-style justice?
    When faced with the centipede situation which you encountered, you’re supposed get on your cell phone and alert the proper authorities; but it’s ill advised to take matters into your own hands.
    Although in this case I’m not sure if the proper authority to call would have been your city’s animal control officer or maybe Orkin.

    By the way, I hope you have a permit for that weapon which you refer to as an “ice fishing boot”

    My dog kills every centipede that dares enter our house. Every so often I’ll be watching the tv and he’ll suddenly jump up and grab one that was crawling along the bottom of the wall. As long as he’s the one doing all the awful killing, I suppose I’ll be able to sleep at night.

    OK . . . next time someone needs to report a centipede as an intruder in their home,
    I guess we can call John23’s dog

    It kind of wigs me out more when the animals dispose of them. Did you know house centipedes eat spiders?

    So, isn’t that technically one animal in the house disposing of another?

    I was on a walk with the FW recently and there was an Orkin man (actually it was terminex I think) dumping a container full of critters in the middle of the park near our house. I think it has to be animal control….at least they will euthanize the multi-legged bastage.
