There are little centipede-like bugs that get out of the soil when I water my plant. Are they bad?? What to do?

As far as I know they aren’t really that bad. I had them in a plant and nothing went wrong with the plant. But they’re kinda gross looking so I would get a shovel and scoop them up and throw them outside. There’s probably also a spray you could use to kill them.

They didn’t hurt my plant. They probably bring oxygen to the roots when the the burrow. They are creepy, though. I didn’t kill them I just removed them if I saw them.
