European Earwig

Before your ears begin to itch, the idea that earwigs while climb into your ear to lay eggs is a myth. You can pull out your earbuds and breathe a sigh of relief. Still though, when you see earwigs you can’t help notice those large pincers. If you grab an earwig, they can deliver a pinch, but it won’t hurt you very much. The problem with earwigs is how they can ruin your flowers and vegetable garden. If you find them in your home, they can transmit diseases from bathroom floors to your countertops.

House Centipede

What has 30 legs and runs all over? With all those long legs, the house centipede resembles an insect pin cushion and has caused many people to run for the nearest implement of insect death. House centipedes know how to run; they can move their bodies up walls and across your kitchen tile faster than you can find a fly swatter. The most common places to find them are in your kitchen, basement and bathroom. If disturbed, they can deliver a bite that will be as painful as a bee sting.

The Cellar Spider
