When I first moved to Taiwan, I rented an Airbnb for 3.months to find my footing in the city.

One night I slipped into bed and felt the most painful bite I have ever felt in my life. My entire leg then proceeds to swell up and puss on the site where the centipede bit.

I would rather have the cockroach.

I've had spiders and stuff but never a centipede

Same. What we refer to as "centipedes" also looks a lot more like millipedes with less legs. So, their body is longer and the legs shorter.

Instead of fumigation, can you breed them, release them in a house to kill all the cockroaches, then lure them back into their mobile home with food?
