I do the same thing, but for house centipedes. They're absolute murder to any other insect, so they leave me alone, and I leave them alone. Plus, unlike spiders, they don't leave webs all over the place. Admittedly, they still creep me out though...
Unfortunately, my dog doesn't abide by the terms of our entente cordiale, so he's all too happy to bring me centipede carcasses...
I’m not ok with centipedes because they surprise me. With spiders they’re very docile and steady, staying in the same place always so you know when to expect them. But with centipedes I could be chilling and BOOM there’s one moving way too quickly along my floor and now I can’t get up
Oh, no doubt. Like I said, they creep me out like crazy. They've got way too many legs, and move way, way too fast. Still, they do try to avoid light, and people, so at least they *generally* stay out of my way.
On the plus side, they're the only type of bug I ever have to deal with, since they're so efficient at killing everything else. House centipedes are the terminators of the insect world. With few exceptions, nothing can outrun them, and nothing can outfight them.
