    The centipedes at my mom’s house def bite, it’s very painful. Sometimes you need to go to the hospital.

    Basically never walk around my mom’s house barefoot.

      Have you considered cleaning out the house and closing all the gaps?

      I know a lot of these insect threads tend to disagree, but sealing a house and only letting in air through very fine meshes is 100% possible.

      Every time I bring this up people start taking like spiders and bugs can phase through solid walls of wood and caulk.

      While I have no understanding for that, I do however understand that poverty or mental or physical health issues can make it difficult to get your home to not be a gappy mess. Especially as renters have no authority to do that.
