Went to the bathroom, came back to my room, sat down and noticed this motherfucker crawling up my wall.

WHAT THE FUCK?

[Tax Kuntz]

It's a bug.

Just squish it and flush it.....pussy.:action-sm

[Silera]

It looks like a note with "Frank Sinatra" written on it.

[commish13]

I already did smash it up and trash it... just wondering what it was. Apparently it's some sort of silverfish/centipede thing.

And the Sinatra thing is the bottom of a poster of a mugshot of him, from my home county.

silverfish

[patbattlefield]

bugs and spiders are demon spawn that must be eradicated. i spray every area of my house with ortho and i never have a problem. i find them dead and that's just the way i like it. those fucking giant wolf spiders are the worst. i can handle a spider in a web but those motherfuckers are mobile and they pop up in the scariest places when you're not expecting.

[KneeKnee]

silverfish


Yes, and a icky one, too.

[droopygirl106]

eeekk

what a nice specimen dude

[Lil'JimmysMule]

BIG Silverfish Dude

[Big Dick Mcgee]

Did you get uo in your chair and scream like a girl?

[d0uche_n0zzle]

Wow, some people really are faggots about lil tiny bugs. :action-sm

[Taso]

Hey i got an idea, instead of taking pictures and bitching about bugs, why not just clean your dorm room.

[PorchMonkey4Life]

it is frank sinatras address in hoboken

[Johnny Utah]

i refer to those things as thousand leggers and my place is infested with em. how could somebody call that a silver fish? if you lack any sense of scale from those pictures, those things get WAY bigger than that...almost as long as a pack of gum, full grown.

i kill 2 day...they're fast as shit and even blend in with the carpet..so i always think i see something moving out of the corner of my eye even when there's nothing there.

Ramon, Call An Exterminator!

Back in May, new house was infested with earwigs. We were seeing them everywhere. I sprayed all over with Ortho Home-Defense. I also treated the entire property with pesticide granules in a spreader. We no longer see them in the house (was finding dead ones for a while), but kept seeing them outside every so often until it started getting cold.

Going to do the same routine again in the spring.

Yup, that be a house centipede. Creepy little fuckers.

[Rob]

The house centipede is capable of biting a human, but this seldom occurs. When it does, it is no worse than a minor bee sting. However, it can cause health problems for those allergic to its venom.

They live anywhere from three to seven years, depending on the environment.


House centipedes lay their eggs in the spring and, in a laboratory experiment of 24 house centipedes, it was found the average centipede laid 63 eggs and a maximum of around 151 eggs

ugh...

[al885]

Around here we call them centipedes

[commish13]

They live anywhere from three to seven years, depending on the environment.

I don't know how long it was alive before me, but once it made it to my wall, the fucker's life expectancy decreased significantly.

I am proud of my quick action in killing this thing. Last week I was able to kill a spider on my own, and yesterday I was able to crush this bitch nice and quick. Little Nicky is becoming a man!

[Arch Stanton]

Tastes like chicken....nuthin?

[stokedaspossibl]

aw, they are cute with all their legs!

[Mother Shucker]

It is an alien bug, be careful.

[DeltaPin]

House centipedes feed on spiders, termites, cockroaches, silverfish and other household pests. They do not cause damage to food or furniture. They kill their prey by injecting venom through their poison fangs and then feasting on the dead prey. For this reason, house centipedes are considered among the most beneficial creatures that inhabit human dwellings, but because of their alarming appearance few homeowners are willing to share a home with them.

They're your friends.

[abudabit]

I haven't seen too many centipedes but there were tons of millipedes in my home town. They are non venomous but they do roll in a ball and release small amounts of cyanide gas. Enough to fuck up small animals and insects.

Hydrogen cyanide is produced in large quantities all over the world by the chemical industry where it is used in tempering steel, dyeing, explosives, engraving, the production of acrylic resin plastic, and other organic chemical products. Its use in insect killing jars has now largely been replaced by less toxic ethyl acetate. It can be produced by reacting a cyanide salt with a strong acid, or directly from ammonia and carbon monoxide.

Fruits that have a pit, such as cherries or apricots, often contain small quantities of hydrogen cyanide in the pit. Bitter almonds, from which almond oil and flavoring is made, also contain hydrogen cyanide. Some millipedes release hydrogen cyanide as a defense mechanism. Hydrogen cyanide is contained in the exhaust of vehicles, in tobacco smoke, and in the smoke of burning nitrogen-containing plastics.

An HCN concentration of 300 parts per million of air will kill a human within a few minutes. The toxicity is caused by the cyanide ion. The mechanism of this toxicity, and the uses of the poison, are described on the cyanide page. Hydrogen cyanide (under the brand name Zyklon B) was perhaps most infamously employed by the Nazi regime in Germany as a method of mass-execution. Hydrogen cyanide is now listed under schedule 3 of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

[tar_baby]

those things give me the fuckin creeps

[jazzcock]

Scutigera coleoptrata or the common house centipede.

[blee]

I see those things all the time when the place that I work at gets big shipments of shoes in. I usually find about 4 of them a week in the shoe stock room. Kinda creepy looking.

[Diceman Cometh]

I turn into a five-year-old girl when I see a large bug. If I was in your situation, I would have had to call my roommate in to the room to kill it for me. And he would have had every right to force me to perform oral on him afterwards.

[A giiiiiiiiiirl]

I killed something like that in my room a couple months ago. It took me about an hour after I cried and screamed and ran around patting my body all over in disgust to actually kill it...BUT I DID! :rolleyes:

[stevethrower]

My cat chases those things...
