Just so people who see them aren't worried, they don't just eat bed bugs. They will eat basically any insect that is smaller than they are up to and including spiders. I even saw one eating a yellowjacket once. So having house centipedes in your home doesn't mean that you have bedbugs.

Yeah it means you have house centipedes which is only slightly less bad.

Very very very very wrong

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Spiders are creepy but they're not bad either. Get rid of flies and mosquitos

This advice may not apply to Australia but in general, it's true.

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Do those giant spiders even make webs?

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Underground ones sometimes.

Actually Huntsman's don't! They're the big hairy brown ones that you've seen carrying mice on social media. They're non-venemous and their whole schtick is that they run to catch their prey. They're incredibly creepy but when I see one I cup+paper it and put it outside. It'll probably find it's way back in eventually but not before taking out a few insects in the process.
