We have centipedes in the basement. I’m pretty sure they help to control the population of smaller bugs. We prefer a few natural predators to poisons and traps. The centipedes fill a niche in the ecosystem of our house. The move around so unlike our dearly departed spider Bob I can’t tell them apart or how many there are. I cannot interact with them as individuals. I’m sure they prefer it that way though. Stay Awesome!! Stay Weird! Or Stay Away!
