And that a centipede might be able to camouflage and essentially turn invisible on the cement floor. I just could not get myself to feel comfortable living in a house like that.
Did you know that centipedes kill all the other bugs, including spiders, that come into your house? They even eat other centipedes.

Personally, I never kill them unless they come upstairs. If they do that, then they're dead.

I recently cleaned everything out of the basement in order to epoxy paint the floors and the walls, and I removed all the spider webs in the process. I also replaced the old windows with glass block and sealed all the air leaks in the walls. Much to my surprise, all the bugs of every sort have disappeared from my house. Or if they're there, they're hiding pretty well.
