The video has good points, though it also has lots of photos and clips of centipedes that aren’t house centipedes, some of which are venomous and can definitely hurt humans.

Even if they’re harmless, I’d find it unnerving to have them around because I’d worry about whether one could have wandered under my sheets or into a shoe. If I see one in the basement I’d leave it alone, but if I saw one in my bedroom or bathroom, that’s a dead bug brah.

If a house centipede is living in your bedroom or bathroom, that should tell you that you’ve got a pest problem.

House centipedes are wolves. Wolves don’t just hang around where there’s no prey
