Walking moustaches


Edit By:How To Pet
Q:I just came up from the basement attempting to pick out goodies in the litter-boxes Stopped dead in my tracks by the sight of this HUGE centipede(think that's what they are),with my heart racing I ran back upstairs,sans goddies
There is nothing that gets to me like those things,I am terrified,I've been known to be a few meters away from one and throw a phone-book at them,the only surefire way to kill it.
I can live with spiders,mice and I catch flies to let them free,but these things with all their legs,just about give me a heartattack.
Oops,hubby is up,he's going to have to assassinate the monster,then I can go back downstairs safely
A:Eeeeeeewwwwwww! I've always said, if it has more than 4 legs, it isn't welcome in my home. You waited for hubby to wake up on his own? You're braver than I. I would have been screaming in his ear to wake up - night shift or no night shift!!!
A:Yeah they are pretty nasty. I've cut down on them from getting in my appartment by silicon sealing around the baseboards, but they sometime travel up through the pipes and come out the drains. You can leave the plugs in, but if you're anything like me, you'll forget to lol.

I have a footprint on my wall from turning around and stomping my foot to kill one (it was near my rabbits cages *sniff*). I'm not afraid to kill them myself, just as long as I get it within the first shot, and there's no chance of it moving when I pick it up with a paper towel.

Luckily the centepedes I get are nothing like the ones they sell in pet stores!
A:that gives me chills up my spine! but i know my cat Trixy would be more than happy for a snack!! J/K i wont let her to anything icky like that!
