When I lived in a concrete high-rise, I never saw any centipedes. Now that I reside in a mostly wood/drywall house, I've seen at least three.

I lived in that high-rise for ~4 years, I've lived in this house for ~1 year.

I do what I can to leave the centipedes alone so they can do their thing. We also have spiders, which are all considered bro's in our home.
