I’m terrified of everything and violence is the default. I blame my mom for watching so many horror movies when I was a kid.
One time I was work and saw a shadow scurry by my foot, panicked, and immediately stepped on it. Was a mouse.
Okay but adults can choose to undo a bad habit. It doesnt take that long, maybe a month. It helps to learn about the bugs and what they do, how they live.
If I were in your shoes I think the accidental mouse killing would have been a catalyst for that. Ive never killed an animal though and I’m already vegan, so theres no way to know for sure.
No Way takes a month. Took me 6 months to set the towels the way my partner wants it. And the socks? I still miss it up if I’m not paying attention.
So fun fact, The first childhood house was infested. Apparently I suffer massive trauma from a large number of bugs falling on me from weak ceiling that I mentally blocked out. Mom thinks its why I destroy them on sight with Astartes zeal. Frankly, is this way better than when I was a child. I remember crying at the sight of a bug until about elementary. Couldn’t even see a animated 2d bug without minor panic attacks. Then fear turned to a purification crusade*.
*(while Im inside, outside is all them unless mosquito, wasps, ticks…etc)
Tiny eldritch horror!
They way they move is so freaky. Especially since they are always in my bathtub. One time i opened my door for a package bam came right in the front door.
Hahaha heck yeah. They’re insane, leggy terrors who don’t want to/can’t hurt me. I had a pet one when I lived with my folks a million years ago, u der their chest freezer. I named him Petey. He was missing one of his million legs. I loved him.
“Termination on sight”, being seen in my house is the reason, I leave them alone if they’re outside and away from entrances
Yeah, that’s a bullshit reason, so I downvoted.
If it moves, kill it. It applies to spiders, millipede, mimics…etc
How impulsive of you.

House centipedes are the friendliest of home bugs. And they have a million legs!

Very wholesome.
