Silverfish don’t actually care about your bathroom or bedroom specifically — they care about humidity levels between 75–95% and starchy materials to eat.

Tenting is overkill for most termite problems — and pest control companies know it.

How to Get Rid of Cockroaches in an Apartment Without an Exterminator
Forty percent of apartment dwellers who try to eliminate cockroaches on their own fail — not because the products don’t work, but because they’re solving the wrong problem.
