How is it possible to have a house with no insects? I just don't even see that as feasible, except maybe for a small new house with no shrubbery (and probably in a desert environment?). There ain't no way you're living in a house with zero bugs.
- koolba 3y agoI’m not saying there can be zero bugs. I’m saying if you regularly find centipedes, then there’s enough other bugs to sustain them. They don’t just go outside to hit up a local cafe then come back home after. Plus, they can live for 5-6 years. The bigger they are, the longer they’ve been there too.
- zeroonetwothree 3y agoI won’t say I have zero but it’s very few. I can go weeks without seeing an insect indoors.
