Two nights ago in MY kitchen there was a huge daddy longlegs spider dangling right in front of my nose when I went to use the sink.Usually, we don't have spiders in the house because the centipedes happily eat them up.All kidding aside, I dislike any bugs who invade my home, however, the centipedes and I have a mutual understanding....they kill the spiders, and I ignore the centipedes..it works for me (and them).I take it you would be happier without either??? Then sprinkle a little Borax powder around the pipes under your kitchen sink. If you also place a sardine-type can with a few tablespoons of water next to the Borax, the centipedes will ingest both and die, but be aware, you may find a few crawlies around this summer when there aren't any centipedes left to munch them.(posted 9011 days ago)
