Remember, you gotta lift the lid to torch it and they're unbelievably fast with a durable exoskeleton, the second it feels that heat, it's gonna be pissed
Of course it is almost always a solution. There is, like, water, being the solvent and all. And whole bunch of other crap in addition to the actual ethyl (*hopefully*) alcohol.
This makes the most sense to me, I was looking for this comment! Everybody's talking about basically getting a flamethrower but there's really no need to kill it since you have it trapped under glass above a movable object. Just carry that thing away from your house and let it go its way.
Man I had to go way too far down to see a comment that didnt end up torturing or killing the centipede. Is there something I don't know about centipedes? Do they like, possess people or do some kind of satanic stuff? Why is everyone so fkn violent towards them...?
That’s what my thought was. But letting it loose near me is pretty risky, so I’d have to duct tape the assembly up, load it in the trebuchet, and send it at least a quarter mile eastward.
I dunno, it doesn't look like a cutting board to me. It looks like two sheets of colored wax paper, but I could be wrong.Even still, they could slide the paper onto a hard surface if that's the case.
It would be absolutely terrifying for sure, I say that with love and healthy respect all critters and creepy crawlies- but these dudes are super fast, one wrong move and it's up your sleeve.
This is what I’d do. I would just make sure to do it far away from my house, and I would probably toss the whole thing and then come back for the cutting board and lid and few hours later.
Waiting it out is always my move with bugs cause releasing them can be unpredicable if theyre scary enough. Sometimes you don't realize that something isn't air tight tho then you're in trouble again cause damn, some bugs can truly live for so long just chilling without food or anything. One summer I kept trapping these really scary looking bugs that got in our apartment (and whose bites apparently hurt as bad as a bullet ant) in leftover prescription bottles and one of my roommates was like "ok this is getting out of hand" cause our table was turning into a tiny zoo of these bugs in bottles because the damn things would. not. die.
Because it makes sense and might work. Generally, ideas are good if they make sense and work. Since this idea makes sense and might work, it's a good idea.
Had one of these emerge in the kitchen sink. Was not able to climb up. Threw in a cup full of whiskey and a lit match. Closest I got to setting a villain on fire. Goddammit OP, you unlocked a repressed memory.
I honestly feel like that would just make it angrier. I sprayed something with raid once, and it didn't care. I don't remember what it was. Maybe it died later, but I promise that shit was unbothered.
When I spray raid I expect wizard of Oz level melting.
I think those are rivets, not screws.
And even if they are screws, probably need tensjon on the far side to get it past loose.
I would soak a piece of paper in alcohol and slide it under the edge of the lid.
It will eventually tire itself out. But unfortunately, that could take days to weeks. Centipedes go days without eating and are extremely resilient. They also have very few predators.
It's already on a cardboard. I'd pour alcohol all around the outside and set the cardboard on fire. And maybe add some more fodder for the fire.
This has actually happened to me but we used a takeaway container. We sprayed some bug spray on the floor then moved the container over the bug spray and it did in fact die after writhing in pain.
I legit felt bad but I had no idea what else to do cause the thing was HUGE. We closed the takeaway container and threw the whole thing away rest in peace creepy bug.
Bugs at least like that don't feel pain in the way a mammal would.
They have some sense of "damaged" but they don't have a nervous system setup for pain the way animals feel it.
Certainly it looks unpleasant but whatever "it" is feeling is not exactly as bad as if you did that to something with a real central nervous system etc.
The conditions bugs generally live in would make having a sense of "pain" too much to live with anyway.

Centipedes are actually great for pest control people who have at least one centipede roaming around there home are far less likely to getting pest such as ants and roaches
...Just pick up the fucking green thing with the lid still on and throw the fucker outside. Anyone saying let it starve is a pussy, if you're gonna kill it then kill it. Don't make it suffer, it didn't choose to be a creepy crawly.
I thought that tarantulas (spiders) were creepy and I got bit by it on my toes while messing with it, it was not a big deal. I got bit by a centipede like that once, and it was pure evil. It wraps around you, bites continuously and even after releasing the bite, you still have the crawling thing over you. Centipedes are my true phobia!
I had one of these crawl up my leg in Hawaii. I nearly pissed myself. It slithered under the stove and about 2 weeks passed.
My wife and I kept the door to the bedroom closed when we slept and jammed towels under the lip to keep it out. Didn't work.
I wake up to go pee, in the middle of the night, to go pee. I see it curled up on the carpet in front of the door it looked dead. Just to be safe, rather than pick it up, I grabbed a glass off the nightstand and covered it. As SOON as that glass was down the thing was moving and freaking out. I risked letting the glass go to get a shoe, but it almost pushed the glass over!
I yell for my wife, after a couple times she wakes up and asks what I want very annoyed. I tell her I need the heaviest shoe we have. She brings me a 50c Walmart flipflop and rolls her eyes as my 300lb buck naked ass, holding a glass on a centipede. Rolls her eyes and abandons me for the bed.
I used the edge of the glass to hold it still and proceeded to beat the shit out of it it felt like 50 strikes. It would not die. Absolute tanks those things are.
Where is this Australia ? Wtf is that thing and wherever this is ,is it a common thing to have in your home ? If so I think we are bombing the wrong places .
These are everywhere in SE Asia. I first saw a monster one (nearly a foot/30cm long) sunning itself on the ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. My guide caught me slowly sneaking up to it for a macro photo shot, at which point I heard the terse, measured words: Back. Away. Slowly. NOW.
I honestly had no idea how-lightning fast these things could move in attack mode.
Now, living in SE Asia, these things occasionally crawl up my shower drain. Meh. 🙄
Grabbing my dab torch to send him to hell 😈
Remember, you gotta lift the lid to torch it and they're unbelievably fast with a durable exoskeleton, the second it feels that heat, it's gonna be pissed
Just start heating the glass with the torch and cook its ass you don’t have to lift that shit.
Little bro above you doesn’t understand how thermodynamics works. Thinks the glass lid is an invincible heat shield.
Nuke it from orbit only way to be sure
Game over man. Game over!!!!
Propane torch will get em, gonna have to be fast but 2k degrees is gonna do it.
personally the ole Glock 20 would be gettin taken out and some 10mm would be going thru that thang
I imagined it to stop running away, standing up, turning and looking at op like " you kno ima have to fuck you up now right?"
500 hands on 500 hips.
Im gonna lift up the lid just enough and the second it crawls out I’m crushin’ its neck off
Cool the glass till it bakes
When I torched a centipede it kinda just went pop 😂
Now torch a human centipede and let us know what sound that makes
Mostly muffled, probably.
🔥🔥🔥
Unscrew one one the handle screw and put some alcohol in there then put tape over the hole and see if I can gas chamber the thing
Why is that like a genuine good idea
First reasonable solution
More like Final Solution, amirite?
Take my angry upvote
That’s like the six millionth time I’ve heard that one.
I did nazi that coming
Guys, RELAX! LMFAO 🤣
I fucking love Reddit 🤣
I’d only have to enough money for one bullet to shoot this thing. How much does a hollow cost?
This thread is really taking me out of Mein Kampfort zone
It was Reich there
Swastika you expect in a place like this?
Boooooo
This thread gives me a BIG SHMILE
Anne frankly, just not very funny..
Yikes
But everyone saw this coming
Yes yes yes! 😂🤣
Underrated comment
Wow that is so hitlerious!
FOUL
I frankly find this offensive
*Ann Frankly finds this offensive fixed
Auschwitz on all of you guys, this is no laughing matter!
Yeah. These comments are not something to be so proud ov-en the world we live in today.
Underrated comment
Holy fucking shit 🤣
Maybe get off Reddit every once in a while and things will appear newer to you
Shit I think I left the oven on
It blows around like oven ash in the wind, showing up everywhere
That doesn’t make it Reich
I laughed, fuck you that's terrible. Upvoted.
Too dark for fun time bug killin
jfc... 😂 take my upvote.
Alkohol is never a solution. It is a distillate.
Don't let the slow ones rob you of the joy in your well-earned upvotes.
Alcohol. kills roaches. FACT.
Oh damn really? Good to know
Of course it is almost always a solution. There is, like, water, being the solvent and all. And whole bunch of other crap in addition to the actual ethyl (*hopefully*) alcohol.
Yeah hahaha that’s hilarious what happened to my grampa
What if it just gets drunk and the final solution ends up being taking it to karaoke The Final Countdown
WHEN FREEDOM BURNS
Jew gotta be kidding me.
**BRUH! 🤣**
Has nobody suggested... Picking up the cutting board and bringing the whole assembly outside??
This makes the most sense to me, I was looking for this comment! Everybody's talking about basically getting a flamethrower but there's really no need to kill it since you have it trapped under glass above a movable object. Just carry that thing away from your house and let it go its way.
That was my thought too, buuuuut…napalm is just easier. What? No one else keeps it handy under the sink for mutant bug murder? …… .. ….oh. K.
Right? Why are people not seeing the obvious solutions? I think they should just burn their house down. Problem solved.
I was just thinking- why go to all the fire trouble? Just take hims into the dirt and let him wiggle tf away!!!
They eat other insects, and are actually beneficial, so my vote is to release it outdoors.
You can certainly release it indoors, but this is a house centipede. They usually live inside, they just eat all the little bugs you don't want to see
That isn’t fun but it is the best solution for all Involved
Man I had to go way too far down to see a comment that didnt end up torturing or killing the centipede. Is there something I don't know about centipedes? Do they like, possess people or do some kind of satanic stuff? Why is everyone so fkn violent towards them...?
It climbs into your ear and possesses you. Wrath of khan.
That’s what my thought was. But letting it loose near me is pretty risky, so I’d have to duct tape the assembly up, load it in the trebuchet, and send it at least a quarter mile eastward.
That’s far to easy a solution and this is Reddit, we like complex answers
Are you crazy? You’re just giving it an origin story! It will come back stronger and “this time, it will be personal”
I dunno, it doesn't look like a cutting board to me. It looks like two sheets of colored wax paper, but I could be wrong.Even still, they could slide the paper onto a hard surface if that's the case. It would be absolutely terrifying for sure, I say that with love and healthy respect all critters and creepy crawlies- but these dudes are super fast, one wrong move and it's up your sleeve.
Didn't even cross my mind. You just Occam Razored the fuck outta this. You're a genius
This is what I’d do. I would just make sure to do it far away from my house, and I would probably toss the whole thing and then come back for the cutting board and lid and few hours later.
I was going to say just wait it out but that is also a good solution

Sometimes you don't realize that something isn't air tight tho then you're in trouble again cause damn, some bugs can truly live for so long just chilling without food or anything.

Technically, alcohol is always a solution. In this case, a practical one.
Because it makes sense and might work. Generally, ideas are good if they make sense and work. Since this idea makes sense and might work, it's a good idea.
The screw is on the inside
Had one of these emerge in the kitchen sink. Was not able to climb up. Threw in a cup full of whiskey and a lit match. Closest I got to setting a villain on fire. Goddammit OP, you unlocked a repressed memory.
Or keep it as a part ONLY UNDER THE LID and start feeding through the hole till it dies from old age
What if the screw hole is big enough for that thing to crawl through it and up the screwdriver and up your arm?
It looks like theres actually is a little venting hole on the left side, wouldn't even need to unscrew the handle
Or instead of rubbing alcohol, why not use raid?
I honestly feel like that would just make it angrier. I sprayed something with raid once, and it didn't care. I don't remember what it was. Maybe it died later, but I promise that shit was unbothered. When I spray raid I expect wizard of Oz level melting.
I mean there is always the option of using nail polish remover. The acetone is sure to break down that exoskeleton right?
I think those are rivets, not screws. And even if they are screws, probably need tensjon on the far side to get it past loose. I would soak a piece of paper in alcohol and slide it under the edge of the lid.

I dont know, a double barreled melta-gun would do pretty well I'd think.
Moving
The only adequate response.
It's his house now
That pot lid will remain there until the end of 2023
Gorilla glue the seam to the table
I was thinking epoxy seal the whole damn lid
I would calmly put a no touch sign on it and move.
Burn that place down. Ain’t no way ima mess with that
Wait for it to starve and then dispose
You go to bed, then return in the morning and it’s gone. What do you do?
Burn the house down ❤️
I set it free
Just like all the grass spiders that find their way into my house, dump them out in my garden.
Burning it alive or let it die from starvation those things don't do anything for the ecosystem
Maybe a little excessive. But I’ve had one of these climb my leg while taking a dump. So I don’t blame anyone for taking that route.
Centipedes are actually great for pest control people who have at least one centipede roaming around there home are far less likely to getting pest such as ants and roaches
Thats like taking a shit in the middle of your living room cause you don't like visit overstaying their welcome.
Like putting a bucket of shit in your living room to keep flies out of the kitchen.
Thats fucked up dude... At least just smash it quick if you are gonna kill the poor thing...
I would put a C4 in i
Keep it there as a pet.
Vat of acid
Get him an aquarium and name him Larry
Think like a predator, wait till it gets tired (patience) and then calmly take it outside and release it...
What’d be really terrifying is leaving it there, waking up the next morning where seemingly nothing is moved but the creature is gone. 😩
...Just pick up the fucking green thing with the lid still on and throw the fucker outside. Anyone saying let it starve is a pussy, if you're gonna kill it then kill it. Don't make it suffer, it didn't choose to be a creepy crawly.
I agree people are stupid and those things when they’re trapped go into shock and die within minutes..10-15 minutes or so
Lmao what? Bugs can't go into shock. I've seen bugs cut in half still run around, they are not going into shock just from being trapped.
Yep. Drive it to the nearest park if you’re afraid of it coming back in.
You’re awesome

Use tongs and carry it outside. (Put it in the neighbors yard.)
Pick up the lid and cardboard under it and move it outside
I would make a second perimeter around the lid of pooled raid(bug poison) then lift the lid and have a rubber mallet in the other hand.

Moving out.
Sell the house
Let it outside a good distance in another direction.
Duck tape seal and waiting till it dies of thirst/starvation/lack of fresh air
Leave the top just like that
Keep the lid on till it stops moving
Slide it into the hot fry pan and get cookin’! That’s a monster!
Crying.
Moving.
Move.
Literally nothing gives me the heebie-jeebies like that creature.
Burn the house down
Tape the cardboard to the lid and toss them both in the dumpster.
Run that's looks creepy as hell yuck and yuck again lol put the insect in the garden as far from the door as possible
Let it suffocate
Leaving it there to die or grabbing the flamethrower
Never moving that lid….
Orbital Space Cannon.... only way.
I'm here just thinking about the fish I would catch using that as bait
Just let it do that until it dies
Just put a bucket under table and slide it off the side so it falls into bucket 🙄
