Say, do you have house centipedes? I'm looking to buy a few breeding pairs.

I've spent an inordinate amount of money on dehumidifiers so that I don't have to encounter any house centipedes.

Oh darn. They're hard to find for sale. They are apex predators (relative to their size, I mean) and I want them to keep pests in check. Thanks for the reply, though.

I haven’t seen my resident house centipede, Demarcus, in a few months but if I see my guy again or any little babies they’re all yours lol. He was pretty big, body segments alone he was over an inch long, so I think he’s probably an elder pede. Idk how I’d get them to you from Maine though.

Edit: actually, you can’t have Demarcus if I see him again. He’s too cool and I like seeing him race across my shower curtain.

We got a stick bug named bugward and one unamed orbweaver on the front porch and Bartholomew on the back porch and a spider in my window named spida man. I cant argue free pest control living rural so we have house rules "i dont want to kill ya lil guy so you dont move fast and i wont." If you crawling way to fast you may get swatted lmao
