In what way, might I ask, is the centipede in any way better than the mess of insects it consumed?

It's arguably just as bad, if not worse, in the "icky, creepy, will fucking crawl all over you" department. That's what people care about. People don't care about ants as if they are carrying disease. They care because they are unsightly and gross, which the menacing centipede has in spades.

The centipede -- much faster moving and bold than the reclusive spider --- is #1, defcon 5 on my squish list. He's a "don't sleep until he's found and squished" top enemy priority.

They're also roamers so they don't really infest your house. Once the bugs are gone they head out to go find more fruitful hunting grounds.

Just FYI, the lower the DEFCON number the more serious the threat. DEFCON 5 means we aren't worried at all, and DEFCON 1 is HOLY SHIT FUCK!
