Just chilling on the ceiling

These things eat clothes and paper right? I killed it. I know to leave house centipedes alone because they kill all the other bugs but wasn't sure about silverfish

I freaking hate silverfish. I lived in an apartment 10 years ago that always had them.

Killed one in the bathroom today. Normal size, I think. A little less than half an inch.

This one was almost two inches, I'd guess. First one I've seen in the year we've lived here.

On the plus side, there are a bunch of shit to spray/spread that can get rid of silverfish and are fairly harmless to people. That diatomaceous earth stuff kills them. There's cedar oil sprays that repell/kill them too. So if you don't mind the smell of cedar then you're fine.

No. They eat other bugs. They're like really long stretched out spiders.

I very rarely ever see them, and I'm pretty sure they've all been about the same size, nowhere near 2 inches.

Really? I've always heard people go on about how awful they are, so I'd always kill them on sight. I don't do the same with spiders.

That's a house centipede. They eat insects.

Silverfish are these things https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverfish#/media/File:LepismaSaccharina.jpg and can munch on clothes or books.

Silverfish are nothing

Centipedes are where the fun is at. To be fair I rarely get bugs in my apartment because of all the centipedes but I squish the ones I see anyway.
They can get pretty fucking big, too.

Those are the ones I leave alone. Cause they're the old ones that have likely been killing spiders in my basement for like 6 years

My parent's house is overall relatively clean but there are a ton of silverfish there.
