Briton Finds Venomous Centipede in House - Yahoo! News
They might as well change the headline to "Jessica Evans kills venomous centipede found in house" because that's exactly what happened over the weekend here in Show Low.
One of those things got into my house and my cat chased it into the new baby's room. That's where I cornered it and beat it with my shoe very violently. The thing would NOT die. So I just totally beat the crap out of it, got it onto a piece of cardboard and flushed it down the toilet. It actually SWAM AROUND before it got flushed into the septic system where it's probably happily living now.
Those things are SICK. I thought it was a tiny snake at first. I freaked out!
Then not three days later, Bob beat the crap out of another one in our front yard with a piece of tree bark. He CHOPPED its HEAD OFF and the thing kept slithering.
Very very frightening.

Any thoughts I may have previously had about coming to visit were vanished with that single post. A VENOMOUS CENTIPEDE???? I'M OUT!
Hey! At least we killed them! WE didn't take them to a museum like freaky limeys.
Gosh!
We've lived here over a year and have only had to murder TWO venomous centipedes...that's all. How weak are you!
You need to move NOW!
Our centipede wasn't QUITE 9 inches long, but it wasn't far off. It was maybe 6 inches of pure terror.
It still freaks me out just to think about it...so, I think I'll stop now.
