The primary problem is that there are a lot of insects out there, and trying to kill them wholesale will only encourage whichever lucky group capable of resisting your genocide to overpopulate and become a new pest. DDT didn't work, Cry toxins are starting to fail and whatever else that might be discovered in the future won't work for long either. You can't get rid of say, flu or cancer for the same reason - your cure will work for a while, but then a few lucky survivors will manage to resist its effects and rebuild the army in a moment's notice, hence why tumors can relapse and there's a new flu panic every year. It's an arms race, we can find better toxins but the insects will find better defenses too.

But centipedes and their ilk aren't that bad, even the house centipede has cute, somewhat downward-pointing venom claws - I can just imagine a house centipede girl trying to do the catgirl "Meow~" gesture with her forcipules instead of her hands, much to the horror of her audience. It's also adorable how they curl around their eggs to protect them, it'd be wonderful to be hugged like that. Symphylans, the much-ignored cousins of centipedes, are much cuter, though - those are tiny, secretive myriapods completely lacking in venom claws, row upon row of long legs, cyanide spray defense and anything else that makes their larger sisters as terrifying as they are, and their mating is a particularly curious affair that involves the female eating the male's spermatophores, storing them in buccal deposits to be used later when she lays her eggs.
