Silverfish Sighting


It's only recently that I've noticed silverfish bugs in the house. Cockroaches are gone (i think), because there haven't been cockroach poop around, especially in the kitchen cabinets (that's a telltale sign).

But silverfish bugs thrive in moist, dark places. How is it that we find them around the coffeetable?? That's where ER's toys are, all around our coffeetable :(

I'm less worried when my search about these bugs agree that they do no harm to human and pets. They feed on hair, dandruff, dander etc.

In my years living here, I've never encountered much bugs. Now that Baileys and Maen are no longer in the house, all these pests happily appear. We now know why our home had always been pests-free, except for the occasional lizards (which we had only seen ONCE since last year). These lizards were safe, as long as they remained on the walls. Baileys can jump high, but he can't scale walls. Lucky lizards.

Next up on my list of pest-to-massacre will be YOU, SILVERFISHES!

P.s. Actually it's not such a bad idea to have these bugs in the house. Since they are harmless and feed on allergens (dandruff and dander), are they not like living vacuum cleaners?

Hmm....
