overherebc Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Every now and then we get a small grey centipede in the bathroom. Sorry no photo as yet. About one inch (in old money) 25mm long. Not fast moving. I've searched and googled but can't find anything that looks like it. Anyone else seen anything like the description Edited February 26, 2022 by overherebc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Triangle Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 It could be a youngster, we had hell n all problems with Centipedes not too long ago, thread on here somewhere, but we had a lot of rain at the time, the mrs ( Thai ) said that they like the rain and come out, dunno how much truth is in that.

JetsetBkk Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I was up-country (Chumphon) a few years ago with the g/f. At the local wat, there was a centipede there that was more than a foot long. Nobody went near it of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sezze Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 There's topics like this before . This type is dangerous ... this is full adult . This is the other type , not dangerous . As you can see the difference , 1 has legs sideways , other one has legs underneath . There are color variations , but the main thing stays , avoid the sideway legs . Another big difference is the speed of moving , the dangerous type moves quick , even small they react fast . The harmless type , rolls up .

toofarnorth Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Sometimes I come across centipedes on the road through the rice fields. I stop riding my bicycle and pick them up. Does annoy the wife even though I tell her they are harmless. This one is about 6" long . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpoint Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Install a few scorpions. They'll get rid of the centipedes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legs stick out on the sides, centipede. Legs underneath, millipede. ???? Edited February 28, 2022 by overherebc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
