Would you rather have a spider or centipede problem in your house?

Growing up in a tropical area, I've had to deal with both. I walk in a room or bathroom, not expecting anything and you see either of them.


Ok, so choice no. 1. Huntsman spider. These guys are fucking FAST and are HUUGE. They fool you by moving a little slow at first, then they can fucking zoom across the room in half a second. They're that fast.

Choice 2. Centipede. These guys are NASTY. They are EXTREMELY aggressive towards everyone. When I took a shower, I'd have to keep at least one eye open and focusing on the drain because that's where they pop out. If you're not careful, you won't see one and it's coming towards your feet to bite the shit out of you. These guys are so nasty that Vietnam veterans were scared shitless of these things.


 
What's a hungry natural predator of these?

Frogs. I've literally personally seen it happen on more than one occasion.

and Chickens. I've also literally personally seen it happen on more than one occasion.

Talking for indoors.
 
Spider. Centipedes leave stains on the wall that don’t come out after you smash them.
 
I don't think we have centipedes near me. I have never seen one on my house at least. I am ok with Spiders besides Brown Recluse. Those MFers will hide in your shoe or under your bed and bite you. Some can cause serious damage, flesh eating stuff. My buddy had a legit hole in his arm the size of a golf ball.

I grew up in Hawaii so we had both. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a centipede inside the house though. It was always outside usually under something in the dirt. We only had tiny spiders or daddy long legs in the house and it wasn’t much. Gecko’s probably ate a lot of them. The only time I saw huge spiders were cabin camping in the countryside. They would often have large wolf spiders, mosquitos that leave big welts and outside would have fire ants. The biggest nuisance were cockroaches. Flying cockroaches can go to hell. Anyway I would take spiders over a centipedes in the house any day.
 
Huntsmann spiders are harmless and they eat all the other nasty bugs and flies around the house.
Centipede bite can give you lifelong problems, knew of a old woman in the village of my mother that has a numb leg cause she got bitten once by one of those disgusting things.
