Occasional invaders
The wander-in crowd
Ants, spiders, beetles, silverfish, earwigs and centipedes turn up a few at a time from the yard or a damp corner. The full library sits on one page.
SpidersSpiders follow their food, so webs piling up in corners and window wells usually mean a steady supply of other insects. Manitoba's common species are harmless nuisance spiders.In the library BeetlesBeetle is a broad label covering ground beetles that wander in from the yard, carpet beetles that feed on wool and felt, and pantry beetles in stored food. They are managed differently, so identification comes first.In the library SilverfishSilverfish are teardrop-shaped, wingless insects that like damp, humid spaces such as bathrooms, basements and around plumbing. They feed on starches in paper, cardboard and stored fabrics.In the library EarwigsEarwigs are dark, flattened insects with a pair of pincers at the tail. They live outdoors in mulch and leaf litter and wander in through door gaps, especially in hot, dry spells.In the library CentipedesHouse centipedes are fast, many-legged predators that hunt other insects in damp basements, bathrooms and crawl spaces. Unsettling to see, but not a threat to the building.In the library
