Given my choice, I take the centipedes.

My son got a centipede bite once, under his eye, when he was only like 4 years old. He got a bump the size of a golf ball under his eye because it was infected. The doctor said it was probably a centipede because they are such dirty bugs, they would cause the infection.
Mice... mice... mice.. When I was still married, they started building new houses on the street behind ours. Suddenly, I started seeing mice. I could sit at the kitchen table at night and watch them come from behind the dishwasher and go along the baseboard and scurry behind the fridge. We were going on vacation so we set traps before we left and got 3 mice while we were gone. Then the (now ex) hubby got the great idea to use the glue traps. We caught two with glue traps, but it was so gross to have this live squeaking thing struggling to get off the trap. I used a broom and long handled dustpan to dump the traps into the trash in the garage. One night, I watched 3 mice start their usual route along the baseboard and when each one go to the glue trap, they jumped right over it and kept going!!!! I insisted then that the cheapskate FINALLY call an exterminator, after screaming at the mice that night to "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!". The exterminator put some good poison out and we saw no more mice.. phew!
