Mukade むかで Centipede attack!

So, I read the warning signs here at the dormitory like everybody else and thought nothing more of it. Today, a mukade, a poisonous centipede crawled in through someones window, went into the corridor and under someone else's bedroom door. These centipedes are no joke. The one that was caught and killed here was at least 7 cms long and disgusting!

I'm sure that everyone will have an extra look in their rooms and in the bed for these nasty creatures!!! I have already checked mine, haha. I've blocked my door to the hallway with an old towel, while others taped playing cards to the bottom of the door to stop them sneaking in!

They like warm and humid or cool and dark places to live. Therefore, a messy room with lots of hiding places is an ideal place for these creepy crawlies. From now on, my room is going to be 100% spotless. Not a single thing on the floor for these mukade to hide in or under.


The sign by the notice board.

Read the "first aid" info and "disposal" section. These seem almost impossible to kill

A real mukade. Evil looking MoFo!!!
The one in our dormitory wasn't as colourful as this one.
