Centipedes at home!

  If you got any heavy objects just use it to smash the insect.
  A good idea is to apply a poisonous chemical on a piece of food, leave it around the area where the insect lives, when they eat it they will die.
  
  Or spray insecticide in huge amounts to flush them out.
  
  What type of centipede did you find?

  Use liquid white-out on them....
  
  They will be 'frozen' in just a few seconds.

  take a paint brush, dip it with petrol carefully brush it onto the centipede's body. Take candle and burn it. Burning centipede! Caution: It may 'fly' I saw this one thing at hardware shops which you put at the drain holes on the floor of your toilet and keeps other pests out.It's somesort of like a filter. I'm not sure how much does it cost though.

  new estates will have alot of them. i was the pioneer batch in my primary school last time. i see hundreds of these creepy crawlies everyday man. nabeh.
  
  anyway, anybody seen these before?
  
  it's called a "house centipede".
  
  "This house centipede looks like a moving hair brush. It runs rapidly, holding its body well elevated, suddenly stops, then runs again toward concealment."
  
  Anyway, go to http://www.uos.harvard.edu/ehs/pes_centipedes.shtml and read under Control.

  I ambush the insect, got one big cockroach got caught by surprise, I take a big stack of The Straits Times and throw it right on the cockroach.
  
  It hit the floor with a 'boom' sound. When I check the cockroach, its body was like a mashed potato.
  
  YAY.
