Nah, it’s just a silverfish.
They’re harmless.
It’s more a sigh that you might have a damp spot somewhere.
Basically, kill them straight away when you see one. If you start seeing more of them everywhere, there could be a nest, but they’re easy enough to get rid of.
I believe that’s one of those creatures that climbs into your ear when you’re asleep and takes control of your mind – it’s really your call whether to burn the house down or leave it be
Silverfish.
Silverfish.
If you have an infestation you can buy some killer spray or diatomaceous earth and put it where they are prevalent. Not sure how affective it is.
My only experience is in an apartment block where you can’t completely control the environment yourself.
Open the windows or plug in a dehumidifier (literally everything is fixed with a dehumidifier these days! Also, air your bed. Leave sheets etc to one side and let the air get at it
Silverfish are very cute….
That’s the peehole beetle. It gets up into your peehole and latches on to lay its eggs. When the eggs hatch the larvae will consume part of the peehole before maturing into adult peehole beetles and then emerge from the peehole to search for a peehole of their own to lay eggs in.
Really good thread in Norway forum. Read it all and then check what you can do.
Silverfish, the most harmless of any ‘infestation’. In fact they eat mould so could be doing you a favour.
You likely have a damn spot somewhere and this little lad just let you know to look for it before it got worse. Fix that and they’re gone.
Naw that siobhan silverfish shes grand, just out for her daily walk
It’s a protein pill, eat it to get strong.
Theres an end portal somewhere near u
Silverfish. Hide the kids hide the wife.
These are sometimes brought into the home from warehouses. Our house was fine for decades and I put in a new Ikea kitchen and blam, 1 month later I was finding these hiding under kitchen towels, under the kettle, microwave and toaster, they run off when you find them. Their heads turn before their tails which is creepy AF. I got rid of them by putting down silica gel packs, the little 9nes you get in electronics packaging and some traps. You can use powders but I didn’t like the idea of loads of dead silverfish hanging around.
That’s Steve
Yeah, your best bet is to burn the house down.
Call a priest and get him to do an exorcism on the Ashes.
And beg for forgiveness from whatever dark force you have managed to anger!
That’s a sliverfish which eats dust and debris and is absolutely harmless.
For every one you see there are 1000 you don’t and they mostly come out at night.

Sleep well.
Only way to be sure 🔥🔥🔥
Silverfish
They love the damp so either OP pissed the bed or he’s keeping the wife very happy
I always used to see them as a kid and they creep me out. They’re at my new house. I remember moving in and seeing some on the outside of the walls; we live opposite woods so it’s possible they just come from there.
Anyway, I periodically nuke the house – every edge of every skirting board – with RAID type spray, and bug bomb the garage and loft. Sightings diminish for a few months and then they’re back.
It’s when you see them on the pillow *voms*
Swallow it.
The swallow a spider to catch it.
Then a bird… then a…..
Is it just me or is everyone having a massive influx of silverfish this year? I kill 2 a day at least and can find any damp in the house that would say why there’s so many
Silverfish no need to worry! Clean your house and they leave
Did you break infested cobblestone recently?
They were here before the dinosaurs and they will be still here to rule the understairs cupboard after we have gone………
Silverfish.
Keep your food locked up in tight containers – like don’t leave a torn open box or bag of pasta lying around – and feel free to put out traps if you see them often or they’re getting up in your bedroom, but they are mostly harmless.

Seems to be an arthropod.
Looks like a silverfish.
