Indiana Jones Bugs

We have these bugs that I call Indiana Jones Bugs.
They look like something that a bad guy would use to torture you in a movie,
hence Indian Jones. 
Their real name is centipede or thousand-leggers.
Indiana Jones Bug is a much better name.

I despise them. 
I despise their shiny bodies.
I despise their legs.
I despise the fact that their legs help them squirm away faster than I can kill them.
I despise the fact they charge at me from the extra closet in Claire's room.
I despise the fact they just don't die - except with bleach. 
I despise the fact they have shown up in my house the past week with vengeance. 
Indiana Jones Bugs...You will not win!
If I see you,  you will meet you doom. 
Get out of my house!

ugh, we had those in our old house!! well, i only actually saw one but i think robbie saw more. we also had a cricket infestation in our basement. (and people wonder why we moved...) anyway, we still have bugs, but mostly just these tiny little flies that appear out of nowhere. i'll take them over the creeper bugs any day.

Oh gross! Those are so creepy looking! I get the shivers just looking at the picture! I can't decide if they're better or worse than scorpions. Definitely worse than cockroaches. Are they dangerous? Good luck with getting rid of them.

Oh no! I am so sorry! We get crickets in our basement-- the ones that look like spiders and jump at you! Virginia bugs are nasty.

When we first moved to Arlington we had those ALL over our apartment. We would walk in the door and several of them would scatter all around. It was so disgusting. They were EVERYWHERE. I totally feel your pain. Brady went online and ordered some fancy bug spray which helped a little bit. I'm so sorry! I seriously got the chills looking at that picture! Take it off!

We have those too! I hate them. I make Ryan kill them if he's around. Good luck with them. We've had maintenance come spray multiple times and they're still here.
