They Serve An Important Role
Centipedes do not eat wood, destroy clothing or spin webs, and they do not reproduce. Not only that but they are also captivated by other insects that are dangerous to your home, rather than leftover food. Centipedes are also solitary creatures, which means that unless you have a major pest problem on your hands that has lured a few centipedes to your household, you won’t be worried about an infestation because they are unlikely to live in groups with other centipedes.

Who’s Your Real Enemy Now?
In the event that you murder a house centipede, the life that is saved will not be your own. It will be the stings of spiders, roaches, bedbugs, termites, silverfish, and ants that will be in your vicinity. Put the wand down and hold on for a split second longer. Remember the old adage, “the enemy of your enemy is your friend.” This is especially true in this case. It is the disturbing things that you are living with that house centipedes are interested in and hunt. Let’s be clear about it: you are living with strange things.
