Hey idk if you have any expertise in this area, but my apartment has come to be under siege by fleas. What is the best course of action?

Has anyone of you tried the bug candy with worms and other tiny creatures in it??

Yeh but I was not patient enough to get to the cricket.... I've pan-fried waxworms and I've had fresh termites in the Caribbean.

Hey Six, I've had a problem with some sort of centipede or millipede getting in from outside and recently plugged the crack I think they were using. They were about 4-6 inches long, brown, and bristling covered with legs in rural PA. Any idea?

it is not a house centipede? (pictured previously in this thread)? Is it cute and slow moving with short legs? Cute and feathery legs and quick moving? or evil, slimy, scary and quick moving?? House centipedes are good, they eat roaches/eggs.

In other news, I was just innocently sitting outside on the lab picnic bench when I felt a pretty serious pinching feeling on my arm. It was a minute pirate bug!! It was so little and cute I couldn't squish it, but it left a little red bump! :(

House centipede, you're right! Sorry, I avoided the earlier pictures because I'm not a bug person.
