Tim, how did I know you were a centipede expert? Well, I had one big one crawl in my bed and sting me on the arm in the middle of the night. Now, I have never seen any bugs in my room, it is upstairs. Someone said that it probably came in through the air conditioner because they follow the tubing up (split system). When it rains heavy like this, I think they come out, yes? And is it true thay crawl between your sheets at night to seek body heat? Those centipedes are some gnarley creatures, and my hill is covered..... Me, I love toads. So, everyone watch out!
Cheryl!!! I just read about your dad! that happened to me... oh my gosh it's true, they do crawl in bed with you..... Now, don't laugh but I sleep with the doors open to the pool and one night this tree rat fell in the pool (I think) and then staggered up the stairs and crawled over me. I am a screamer...and he was knocked to the floor and just sat there all soaking wet and confused. yessir, my house is wild at night.
