Release the Louie!

There's a house centipede in the bathroom! Release the Kraken! I mean, the Louie--our secret weapon against insects and arachnids.









These images only vaguely do it justice (scroll down). In person, the house centipede is a horrible mulit-legged insect that senses your presence and indicates this by lifting its front legs while the others continue to writhe in a wave-like spasm. It triggers a primordial revulsion so intense all you can do is shudder.

Louie is the only one in our home who isn't susceptible to its power.

This is the house centipede after Louie plucked the majority of its legs from its body.

To the right of the image are two of its legs that Louie pulled off and spit out. He will kill it, even he doesn't like the way it tastes.
