what are of the thing we can use to get rid of fortyleg

HOW MANY BABYS DO THEY HAVE ONE TIME
Centipee or forty leg they are called here
When I lived in Guyana a retired port knocker who was cleaning our yard found a big one and called me to kill it. He said he could not do the execution and he had an immunity given by the Wai Wai Indians. He offered me a "centipede cut" as the immunity... I refused and killed the creature. I am terrified of them.
Forty leg and centipedes are two different creatures.
Well, not really Ray Ash. A forty leg is really a forty legged centipede....
centipede, or Santopee
O god there the same thing Ray Ash
Me is a fool
I'm terrified of those things! I'm terrified of every bug LOL
I found on in my bathroom last night.. it look dangerous though.
still not sure how it get in

Since moving to Portmore, I have had numerous encounters with these critters, I terrified of these forty legs as they are every where in the, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, living & dining room even in my clothes & shoes, what can be used to get rid of these critters, I am even unable sleep at night, these are some very hugh ones. Any ideas are welcome please.
When u catch 1 cut it up and put it in a bottle with some rum. If u get bitten again use that solution it should help.
It's not a pretty bite I tell you. I was bitten twice in less than an hour while sleeping one night, once on my elbow that woke me up then I went back to sleep and again woken up by the other bite in my lower back. And a week or two later I was bitten on the ear, again while sleeping, luckily this time it was a baby. The pain from the bite lasted about 45 minutes to an hour. It was VERY painful!!!
So them reach on your bed ....still ne fraid a them can even sleep n nuh think bote it
cut off the head it have the stingers or use bug spray.
we dont call it that... or atleast ive never heard that.. only in jamaica ive heard that.
I just saw one on the bathroom floor forty legging in a dam circle and then a look up and see big crocko lizaz ova mi head a walk n wine make a u-turn fi leff d scene only fi buck up inna masss overgrown grasshopper.now tell me fi sumbody weh ave a insect phobia how me feel?
I always kill them what works like a charm is throwing very hot water on it,and it dies very quickly and or the use of our ever present cutlass or a metal toe shoes use it until its crushed. Usually for me crushed means its dead...
I just saw one on my varandah about to crawl under my front door.It was a fully grown one! I had the shakes instantly.Gave it a poke with my umbrella and it shake and turn in the next direction, gone out into the night.I'm scared and paranoid as hell now.What if it comes back? It was so dangerous looking! Good thing i saw it,imagine if it had gotten inside! I stuffed the front door with a towel.
I was just showering and felt something running down my back. I used my hand to sweep across my back and it fell to the floor. Had to use my shoes and hit it about 6times & then washed it down the drain. I boiled some water and poured it down the drain as well. My daughter could have been the one in there. Thankfully it wasn't her.

At montego bay and these creatures are here in armies as huge as a football boot, I'm on camp for three days and I haven't slept and I'm too terrified of these devils
I was just bitten few hours ago, deadly creature.........
I killed one in my living room Thursday night its the first I ever say anything like that i was so frightened .
Why do you have to kill 😢 😠 😠 😡
Was sleeping early in the morning and felt a little sting and ignored it and then I felt something crawling up my leg and shook whatever it was off. Turned on the lights to see what it was and saw that it was a forty leg dancing around in the bed. Felt really creeped out...
LMAO
Did you know they have no backbone?
Also centipedes prefer warm, damp places hence why they will often make their way into homes from outside...SOLUTION buy humidifier.
It almost bite my 2 month's old daughter last night almost bite her sister years ago at her age n I let my father kill them both. They a big. i was afraid to sleep
thats one thing i dont like about back home.....big stinkin multi-color sanapee lol
My son was just bitten by a forty leg in his head on his bed we took him the soldier camp and the medic give him son something for it he is still in pain
Hahahaha
I was just bitten the area is swollen. I wish I knew how to get rid of the pain and swelling.
On the roadside talking and felt something on my foot. Used my hand to move it away and realized it moved, then I felt a sharp pain. I jumped up and flipped my foot in the air same time. The other guys laugh after me and start look for it. Found it on the wall beside us, a very small one too. I killed it my self. Crush him till nothing left. But the pain no so bad now. Feel a little better.
Saw a baby one a week ago. Spayed and killed it.big one tonight. Spayed it like hell then crushed it with a stone. It was a scary experience. Hear them sting harder than scorpians
forty legs are dangerous creatures say no to all i agree put your feet in your hands and take flight...
I was just bitten by one, I was actually sleeping, woke up to a terrible pain in the back of my neck, first thing came to mind was ice, I got some ices cubes to numb the pain, it helps, my mom killed it, luckily I'm not allergic to anything like insects or anything forty leg/ centipede related This incident happened after 4 in the morning, bruh a the worst feeling eva

Swear these creatures are vicious. Saw three in my bathroom and I killed them. Its like they like my rrom or something. Saturday night I was on my bed and a huge one was moving fast trying to get in my bathroom and I killed it with my shoe. Have to slap it about six times before it dead. This thing was huge and I had a panic attack after. Took me almost half an hour to finally take it out.

I just find one in my room and me n my boyfriend is so scared I’m paranoid because i dont know where it came from and how much more is there
I found a forty leg, and a garden snake under my breadfruit tree while collecting rocks last night. I wasn't afraid of the snake but the forty leg give me the creeps. I put them both in a bottle of rum. My uncle said it's good to rub pain but I'm not sure if there is truth to this. Forty legs are dangerous I say, although I only got bitten by the babies. Didn't feel anything
two a dem crawl up mi foot one in di bathroom and one outside mi very paranoid now, killed di one in the bathroom but mi took a long flight from the big ass one from outside this is why mi hate fi go outside and i cant even shit/pee in peace without one coming at me in the bathroom

I was having a nice shower just now and I saw something coming in my direction at a fast pace I freaked out...ran out of the shower with soap on my skin....but it didn't bite me..i poured a lot of bleach on it and it still did not die...they're terrifying
Kill!!!
saw one in my bedroom one night, which is unusual as I don't live on ground level.was sleeping and heard some rustling, woke up, turned on the light and saw one running out of a plastic bag. I jumped up and sprayed it to death, waited a few minutes and put it in the toilet. scared for life
lol it rarely causes any real threat to humans, it is only venomous and fatal to its prey like other insects especially soft bodied ones, we’re not it’s prey we’re giants and their little venom can’t hurt us. Maybe to someone who has an allergic reaction to insect bites but not a regular man or woman
Did you guys know that once there is one there is a lot more?
They have Bout 50-60 babys one time
i need a cutlass and a bottle of white rum
One just bite me on my hands it's just a little painful
I don’t know if these things love my room are what but mi tired a them man, portmore is the work place when it comes to these things, my hand is hurting like crazy right now because of one that just bite me. I can’t even go back to sleep because I’m terrified and scared 😟

A female can live for years and produce up to 150 baby centipedes in her lifetime.

They also have another one here that looks like the forty leg, but it looks shiny like a snake and crawls like one too. What's it called again? I think it's galangwax or something like that. I just found one in my bed.
I read I. A book that the centepede has helpfully remedies I think it's a reader digest . It helps with memory. I am. Afraid of them . They usually comes up iny bath tub
Does it really work for pain if you put it in a bottle and put rum on it
I saw one that was small and it bit me it was so hot
I saw a big one yestaday, me kill it with a chair
I just saw a big one in my kitchen and when I chop at it went where my son has his toys along with some bathroom fixtures and electrical wires, but I was able to get a quarter of it. My question it grows back those legs that I was able to cut off?
