OliverKlozerof Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I've been in LOS 15 years and have been meaning to ask about these things. They're about a 1/4" long. Occasionally I find them in my room. Sometimes they're inching slowly across the floor with a little 'foot' (mouth?), in front. Or they're attached to the wall, ceiling etc. 1) What are they? 2) How do they get in my room? Thx 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy makes it sound like they're the end of the world. then two other guys said they're no big deal. Which they're not. I was mainly just curious what they're called. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it does appear climbing up walls is their soul attainment in life. My missus drives me up the wall sometimes too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Theory Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 You need to use mothballs in your closets, if you want to keep your cotton cloths safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, although, I would have thought the wool cloths would be the primary target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tifino Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 pick them off the walls with i.e. an old icecream stick, and feed them to your goldfish... - if there becomes too many, switch on the vacuum cleaner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
