Apparently they don't live or breed in your house. They just come in, munch down, and peace out. Hard to look at, though. 🫣
The food source is the rest of the insects that had the misfortune to wander into your home.
They only munch on other insects, too. All around benefits.
Would you rather deal with a larger number of the things these guys were supposed to eat?

It's this anti-science propaganda?
When I was younger, house centipedes and spiders terrified me. I didn't want to be afraid anymore, so I wanted to learn more about them. Found out that both beneficial and harmless: beneficial because they eat bugs and pests that can actually damage your house, and harmless because they don't want anything to do with a mammal that is larger than they are by orders of magnitude. Since then I'm cool with having them around. Admittedly, unexpectedly seeing one out of the corner of my eye still causes me to flinch, but as soon as I recognize that it's one of my unpaid housekeepers I let it go on it's way.
