Default House centipedes

Do you suffer from these little varmints indoors in the US. They are house centipedes but we call them 'hairy runners' as they are hairy and move like lightning!

I found they are attracted to duct tape. lay a strip on the floor and then throw it away in the morning. It also attracts crickets
