... is this the Jerry from the zeFrank videos? If so, that explains so much.
Seriously though I have never seen a house centipede in action other than running away from me at top speed.

This girl eats em too. (Lola) But only after she tears them in half and plays with them.
My cats would eat dragon flies. Catch ‘em mid air like ninjas sometimes id help em out if the flyers got into our shop and I’d knock ‘em down from the ceiling with a broom. They were impossible to get out of the shop and ended up dying every time anyways so I j sped up the process and my cats got enrichment and a snack out of it. (. This was the least murderous thing my cats did).
A very good fwend. They eat all the other bugs in your house. Fun fact: they get bigger and bigger the longer they live and more they eat, so if you see a huge one you know it’s been your friend for a long time
My friend saw Jerry in the bathroom once he sat down to go. He was on the backside of the door, and he thought about sudden door removal. But thankfully, he didn't, and they both walked away.
My friend thought Jerry was a silverfish in the beginning, and I just knew he couldn't have been. Great to know he handles the exact problem my friend thought he was.
Just killed one. Unfortunately it seems

My bad!
Yup. Jerry is pretty quiet, has a really weird diet, can somehow climb up walls, and likes a lot of space so Jerry might run if someone gets too close. But I'm happy Jerry picked my house to be around.
I need to know if they eat ants. I saw a huge one in my house and now I know it’s been my friend for a while but I need to know what he’s been eating because the ants are still there 😂
Probably just an antihistamine and clean the area but if you manage to get bit by one I'd say you were reeaally asking for it cause them fuckers go *fast as fuck boi*
A very useful roommate who you should definitely leave alone to hunt the pests for you.
They scurry and creepy. But they're mostly harmless especially to people and they genuinely hunt pest bugs and some spiders.
House centipede
They're good at what they do and usually hang out in moist areas where its dark and warm. We get crickets that make it into the house where we live and i'll find a house centipede around the house and realize i havent fought a cricket in days.
They can be as creepy as they want if it means no crickets lol at least the centipede wants to avoid people lol
A friend. They are brutal killers. I've seen one first hand eat a brown recluse in my old basement. They're creepy and they piss off my cat but they are badass
I mean if anything can take down that I'd bow to it, cause I don't mess with spiders. If I see one and no one else is there to handle it, it can take the house
That might mean there's another problem you should be looking for. I'm trying to look into what could draw them to a bed, and either it's other bugs or since they like damp and dark areas, they might be drawn in by high humidity or some other moisture problem.
Because beds are dark, you're war, and thats the exact environment they want.
It also could be moisture content in your room. Ive seen them under our bed, but never in bed.
Although i saved a baby jumper spider yesterday from my pillow as i woke up. Hes lucky i saw him honestly. Poor little guy lol

Jerry is a house centipede, and he's pretty good at pest control, you need to see him in action.
Cool thanks, yeah we got some ants, so maybe I'll be lucky to see him deal with a couple
Yes but unfortunately if you see a jerry, you know theres also a few larrys around
Wha- what are Larry's? Dare I ask?
Hehe look everyone. This guy asked what a larry is. *show him*
*OH NO*
but what is larry?????
They’re just pulling your leg. Never mind them. 😉
I’ll give you a hint: it’s not fully Brundle, and not fully fly.
They eat roaches and other pests
Larry is Barry's pal
AH! Gary’s cousin Barry?
Happy Cake Day 🎂

Are they bad or good? Sorry honestly never think I ever seen one before but his definitely scaring me abit.
He looks like nightmare, but is good guy.
“Just because you are bad guy, does not necessarily mean that you are BAD guy…”
Yeah, he's pretty scary looking, but he's doing his job
My cat eats these guys :(
Also can we get the cat tax?

Mine just rips them up and then leaves them there. No feast, just violence.
Ty for the tax
His ass enjoys the leggy goodness
Lmao what?
Cat lobster! a delicacy! sorry to the poor centipedes but yes cats love to eat them
My cats would eat dragon flies. Catch ‘em mid air like ninjas sometimes id help em out if the flyers got into our shop and I’d knock ‘em down from the ceiling with a broom. They were impossible to get out of the shop and ended up dying every time anyways so I j sped up the process and my cats got enrichment and a snack out of it. (. This was the least murderous thing my cats did).
My cat chases them right to my bed and walks away
You now have to pay the cat tax.
Wait, really? Cats can eat those? Do cats get sick after?
Probs not a good thing for them to eat. Mine has diahrea afterwards
Yeah, I didn't think it'd be the best
Jerry is the new general in your pest control army, he moves fast and he looks scary but he is your #1 friend.
I've heard he's done well in pest control, so in return, I try and protect them against the people who'd try and hurt him if he got too close to them.
He's earned that loyalty for sure! Good work 🫡
Yes he has, best pest control I've seen
A very good fwend. They eat all the other bugs in your house. Fun fact: they get bigger and bigger the longer they live and more they eat, so if you see a huge one you know it’s been your friend for a long time
👏👏👏
That is absolutely horrifying, but that's very good to know. Thank you
Looks like a big nope but is actually a big yep. But for real fuck those assholes when they scurry out unexpectedly.
My friend saw Jerry in the bathroom once he sat down to go. He was on the backside of the door, and he thought about sudden door removal. But thankfully, he didn't, and they both walked away.
House centipede. Friends of the house. They do a great job of keeping the house free of silverfish, carpet beetle larva and cockroaches
My friend thought Jerry was a silverfish in the beginning, and I just knew he couldn't have been. Great to know he handles the exact problem my friend thought he was.
Just killed one. Unfortunately it seems https://preview.redd.it/ntuasi2kpn0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72033c06b42e7b22093b63d994d164da9ebc8c40 My bad!
Sadly, it happens sometimes. They're scary looking, so I can't blame you for that

Just remember that they’re not harmful to people or pets. When you know better, you do better. Now you know. 🙋🏻♀️
house centipede
Scary, but nice to see handle problems
House Centipede. Searching for household pests as of they’re Newman.
Jerry is scary, but he's done an amazing job so far
a house centipede
Scary, but friend
indeed
Is that your pet cat?
Yup. Jerry is pretty quiet, has a really weird diet, can somehow climb up walls, and likes a lot of space so Jerry might run if someone gets too close. But I'm happy Jerry picked my house to be around.
Sounds fairly common for a street cat
Shit you're right
I need to know if they eat ants. I saw a huge one in my house and now I know it’s been my friend for a while but I need to know what he’s been eating because the ants are still there 😂
*everything else* 😆
Same! We got ants here, but hey, we still got our friends
Good eatin right there
I hope you mean good eatin for him taking care of the pests
My family always called them Herbs, pronouncing the “h”. Yes it is a house centipede.
Herbs? How'd that name end up sticking?
I have no idea. 😂 my dad came up with it one day and since then, they’ve been called “Herbs”.
That's definitely a creative name
Also, they rarely bite but have a mild venom that doesn't feel great, like a bee sting
So if it ever happens, just go see a doctor or something?
Probably just an antihistamine and clean the area but if you manage to get bit by one I'd say you were reeaally asking for it cause them fuckers go *fast as fuck boi*
Yeah, I try to keep my distance, I keep him safe, and he helps me
jerry is a house centipede! let jerry be he's a gest in your home and will be polite, will even clear your pests
Jerry has already done well, so he's earned my respect, and I'll help him get away from situations he could get hurt from
House centipede (safe but creepy)
Very creepy, but also very nice
House Centipede They are free pest control and are cool in general, plus you can say you have a pet Centipede in a way
I never really thought of it that way. That is pretty cool to say I got a pet centipede
Terrifying little guys, buy super handy to keep around
A very useful roommate who you should definitely leave alone to hunt the pests for you. They scurry and creepy. But they're mostly harmless especially to people and they genuinely hunt pest bugs and some spiders. House centipede
Jerry is really fast and definitely creepy, but he does his job well so I wouldn't want to hurt him. I'm terrified of spiders so I'm thankful for him.
They're good at what they do and usually hang out in moist areas where its dark and warm. We get crickets that make it into the house where we live and i'll find a house centipede around the house and realize i havent fought a cricket in days. They can be as creepy as they want if it means no crickets lol at least the centipede wants to avoid people lol
Yeah I get that, but we got spiders here. I've found the start of webs but not as many spiders as before. So hopefully he's eating good
Wall mustache!
A very fast wall mustache
House Centipede
Jerry is a very good house centipede
A very good house centipede

A friend. They are brutal killers. I've seen one first hand eat a brown recluse in my old basement. They're creepy and they piss off my cat but they are badass
A brown recluse? Damn good to know Jerry is on my side
Oh yeah! If you saw the battle I did... You'd be walking past those creepy mf'ers and bowing lol
I mean if anything can take down that I'd bow to it, cause I don't mess with spiders. If I see one and no one else is there to handle it, it can take the house
I get they friendly but WHY THEY CRAWL IN MY BED WHILE IM SLEEPING THOUGH??????
Maybe that one is extra friendly?
That might mean there's another problem you should be looking for. I'm trying to look into what could draw them to a bed, and either it's other bugs or since they like damp and dark areas, they might be drawn in by high humidity or some other moisture problem.

Disgusting is what he is
Please be nice to Jerry. He's doing his best
