about silverfish.


I have never seen them before moving here... I maintain a relatively clean house. (Not always tidy with 4 kids around, but I do keep it clean.) We just found a couple silverfish under DS9's dirty laundry. Did he bring them in from outside, or do they tend to live indoors?

Other than a brief one-year stint in TX a few years back, we've also never lived in an area where roaches were a possibility... so since I have an oversensitive "eww" factor, we pay for a regular pest control service. I've never seen a roach here. I have serious roach-phobia! I even used to spray my floors with bleach solution every night for a while when we first moved to TX last time. :tongue_smilie:

I've never had bugs in my house other than a random spider or two... I don't hate bugs, outside they're fine.

Ick, ick, ick. I feel like I need to sterilize the entire house, clean every nook and cranny...

They live indoors -- they eat paper.

Oh I HATE silverfish!!! They move so darn fast! It has nothing to do with how you keep house. Really!! I SOOOO share the bug phobia when they're inside (unless it's a cicada - then I really don't like them even outside).

Aside from being quick and ugly, do they carry any diseases? We don't have any now, but we did in our last place.

Ewww, I hate bugs too. They are fine NOT in my house. Except for mosquitoes. I completely hate them. They really love me. A lot. I look like a war zone. I feel your pain on the bugs. Shudder!
