Have you seen these?

It is a house centipede, a creepy fast moving almost fluffy looking insect. Most people kill them as soon as they see them.

Well checking the Orkin site I found that if you are going to have some type of insect in your house, this one is probably not all that bad to have.  They don't eat a lot but what they eat is cockroaches, ants, termites, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, crickets, flies, moths, and just about every other household pest. They leave no mess behind and they prefer to flee rather than engage in hostile acts....ie...they don't usually bite, but if they do they are usually not that painful.

So the next time one of these creepy looking things makes a dash across your basement floor, you might want to consider letting it go.

(I hate all bugs, so it will get the boot anyway)
