Somewhat related but can someone help me identify if these are silverfish skins, bed bug skins, or something else? I found a brown spot on my bed sheet this morning as well as a crushed skin. Tore my bed apart and couldn't find any bugs but found these under my bed frame cover. I've been shitting myself all day worrying it's a bed bug. Please help
Tap the bricks around your home and see if they feel soft and brittle, this means they are infested. Other than replacing said bricks you could try and find the spawner, it's usually in the middle of the portal room
They feed on the glue of books and maybe paper. They are harmless in all other cases. You can make a trap with a potato with some holes, leave it overnight in a spot where they have access and then discard it the next morning when they are all massed in it. Very cute for some weird reason.
Silverfish once got into the portfolio where I kept all my old drawings and made themselves a little silverfish city. I noticed too late and ended up throwing out years of work.
Mop your floor and make sure you clean the back of the toilet. When you piss theres always some splash and when it dries its good eating for silverfish.
Its also a good idea in general to clean your drains. Get some borax or powdered detergent, put a few heaping scoods down your drain then boil water in the biggest pot you have and pour it down as a chaser.

These little guys are funny. My personal theory on bug phobias is that the instinctive startle-jump reaction is largely tied to how fast the thing is. Disgust is a separate thing thats based more on context
Back when I lived in the city they were everywhere in my house, I'd pick them up and let them eat dead skin and salt off my fingers.
Now I live in the countryside and they don't stand a chance due to all the spiders and centipedes in the house
No silverfish in my house as long as the boss is around
Nah, but if you have books it's a different story

Looks a lot like bedbugs to me anon.
Well, time to kill myself
Found one of these on my mattress this morning
It's actually over
get some spiders, or wait for them to eventually come naturally, ive got 3 now in the 3x3 m bathroom and these shits are gone
I like them.
I want them to proliferate.

Thats not a bad tip, I like things like that. Do I just poke sone holes in it with a pencil or something?

I find one or two every now and then only on windowsills.

I believe fear of insects, spiders and snakes is purely learned beavior

actual psycho
They're common household pests. They don't harm anything unless they're getting into your food.
It means you're a dirty little piggy who doesn't clean often enough. You need to clean every 15 minutes or they appear through spontaneous generation.
Youre right about that its dusty everywhere haha but they only come out in the summer for some reason
The heat is more conducive to abiogenesis
