True talk bro it happens to me once... Oboy D scratching no b here.

I was bitten by one in bed before.
My lady used to be bitten regularly because they prefer her bum more than mine. I prefer her own to my own sef.
One night i was bitten by one and it was no big trouble for me.

If you eat a lot of pungent fruit or pungent natural foods, they are attracted to the smell and will follow your smell to your bed after nightfall.
Possibly even the smell of fermented things like beer and wine.

I used to use a cloth to squeeze the juice from a fermented fruit that smelled pungent and then i would hang the cloth in the kitchen overnight.
Every morning there would be a centipede inside the cloth. And if i killed it, there would be another centipede there, the very next day.
They could not resist the smell.

Also i noticed that when i left plenty of pungent smelling fermented fruit for them, they were not drawn to the bed but rather drawn to the pungent fermented fruit smell in the kitchen.

Maybe you can set a detour for them. I am not sure what kind of fruit will draw them in Nigeria. My own fruit was Noni fruit growing in Hawaii. Noni is very pungent when fermented.
Maybe you can try the peels of various fruits, like very ripe plantain peels, maybe try a mix of peels of every fruit you can find or afford. Keep it in another part of the house and if it is fruit that they are attracted to, they will go there instead of your bed.

It can have a backfire though, if the smell reaches outside your house and statrs to draw every centipede in the area to your compound and eventually into your house. It may also attract more roaches and other unwanted pests.
If you try my advice, keep it a small portion in an isolated area of the house. If you notice any rise in pest population, remove the pungent smelling stuff and fumigate the house with insect repellant as well as move all permanent stationed furnishing to clean and spray behind them and under them.

One pest can attract another. Many rats eventually attract snakes. Many roaches and other insects will attract more toads and lizards and those will also attract snakes. The first wild food chain members always arrive with the next link in the chain following behind.
Never let one get out of control or other creatures will follow and possibly diseases as well.

Ordinary centipede.

nelsonebby:
Got stung by a black scorpion while sleeping

What medication did you take? I do see smaller ones in my compound sometimes. Not the black but light brown.

That's the very devil I saw in my bathroom around 5am a month ago. It was very big and gallant. Used footwear to pin it down & cutlass to matchet it but the blade kept bouncing off its hard exoskeleton. It took several cuts to finally kill. Scared the ish outta me mehn.

naija people and superstition. the centipede abi na millipede wont fall from the sky and their bite abi na sting is usually non fatal. you have showed us the poor insect and refused to show us your bedroom.


a few questions come to mind, how did the insect get on your bed surely it wasn't sent by your village people

such insects are attract to humid and dark places

they can also be found in walls with cracks or cervices where they lay eggs or at locations where is there is a lot of damp debris

so I will advise that you clean your immediate surrounding to prevent a future occurrence.

Best of luck

I saw this thing in my house this morning around 5 am. A very big one. I've seen it like 10x since we packed in last year june. I've bn wondering what exactly attracts it to my house and we stay in first floor for that matter.
I just don't know how to get rid of it.

Really? have you ever been stung by one?..am sure I know the difference between a scorpion and a centipede..
Although centipede bites may be painful, they are rarely fatal. The symptoms of centipede stings vary depending on the degree of allergic reaction and the size of the centipede. Typically, bite victims have severe pain, swelling and redness at the site of the bite, with symptoms usually lasting less than 48 hours.

Lord please continue to protect us all.Amen.


Thanks

Saw a centipede in my room last semester I killed it.
This semester I also killed a scorpion.
Really scared but I just pray always for divine guidance and protection.

No, not this one. It is deadly. The one we played with as kids was millipede.
