Need advice on coping

Watch an entire documentary on insects

I recommend Life in the Undergrowth

also those things are harmless, I have Arizona Bark Scorpions in my house, step up

house centipedes may be creepy looking but they are literally incapable of harming you in any way

This isn't true. They absolutely are capable of biting humans, it's just very rare. Their mouths are on the underside of their body so they have to be crawling on you to bite. Anyways, I used to live in a massive, 140 year old house and these things were absolutely everywhere. I'd usually see at least one a day, probably the same ones repeatedly as they were very large, and they live to be pretty old for insects. I never bothered them and they never bothered me. They eat bedbugs and other pest insects so i let them live for that reason. Not sure how this helps OP but, it's false to claim they are 100% harmless.

Fuck you for posting a picture of one of these.

Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you.

I am so scared of these I literally get tunnel vision and chills every time I see them. It's a genuine phobia. I would legitimately rather walk into a den of starving bears and fucking cobras than look at one of these for one second.

My advice to you is MOVE THE FUCK OUT.

PS. I disabled images in my browser .000285 sec after seeing this thread so if any of you shitheads are frantically googling for pictures to ruin my week, don't bother, myah.

PPS. I would be genuinely grateful to anybody who was able to tip me off to a part of the world where house centipedes haven't spread yet (like how there's no snakes yet in New Zealand or something, right?) I know they don't like the cold. Are there house centipedes yet in Mongolia? If no, I WILL MOVE THERE. I AM DEAD SERIOUS.

Pretty slim on the ground in wales.

For OP I really recommended keeping one as a pet in a jar, you get to desensitise yourself in a controlled way then

Just get food grade diatomaceous earth and sprinkle it in all the cracks and crevices. Itll keep them away and its safe around pets and children

In Dallas Texas here, and that photo is the first one I've ever seen.

>>18044544 op here, they've basically found their way into most of the southern hemisphere. They're starting to get reports in Canada other northern countries.

I live in Alaska. I've never seen one! Palmer is swell, and super well-off economically. No spiders either. Or..any bugs ever.
