and I thought Millipede Madness was a BIKE RIDE!!!
That's true, but it's still yucky! :p Didn't anyone make any attempt to get rid of the roaches?Quote:

LOL - perhaps I could start one up. I squished enough riding the other day so the name would fit.:DQuote:

Last night it did not seem to be as bad but maybe that is just wishful thinking. The buggers are still coming inside but not in as many numbers.
I would rather get mine in the form of wildlife found in pics on the Have We Done It Yet? thread. :pQuote:

I was living on the Island of Maui for a short period in a cockroach and centipede infested dorm apartment. I felt something crawling up my leg while I was in the shower one night and it was a poisonous centipede that had come out of the drain.:eek::eek::eek:
Ever since then, centipedes and millipedes creep me out. Better you than me TH.
Oh, it looked like this and was about 6 inches long. That was a tinyone by Maui standards.
YUK!!!!:eek::eek:Quote:

This grossed me out when I heard about them several years ago: Camel spiders in Iraq. They are not true spiders. Story is that they run after you screaming at you the whole time. I guess their bite contains a numbing effect and they chew on at night and you don't even know it! Till you wake up in the morning and you have large open wounds!

The picture contains two of them. One biting onto the next one.
Now that is creepy! I can't even handle the small ones, I can't imagine trying to take a shoe to that!
UGH...normally spiders really don't bother me, but those look like some nasty critters--especially since they bite!Quote:
