I have them in my house too. I think they're just called "house spiders". Not harmful. I just ignore them.

So this morning I noticed that on my wall, there is a small pile of what I assume to be some type of animal excrement that was sticking out of my wall, about 1cm long and about 0.2cm wide, and popping from the wall about 0.2-0.3cm pic: [url=http://img251.imageshack.us/i/img0803rl.jpg/]ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting[/url] So I go to the bathroom and get some toilet paper and wipe the stuff off only to find a tunnel underneath, with little larvae looking bugs crawling through the tunnel. These little larvae were not big and were crawling quite fast through this new hole that I just found. They were also pretty short, about a little smaller than a grain of rice. pic of the tunnel: [url=http://img819.imageshack.us/i/img0805nk.jpg/]ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting[/url] here's what the stuff on my wall looked like: [url=http://img641.imageshack.us/i/img0806jh.jpg/]ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting[/url] Does anyone know what these holes are from? I've put an apparent size estimate in the pictures and I've never seen anything like this before. The holes look a lot bigger than termite holes and my wall is plaster, so I'm outta ideas as to what these things could be. here's another picture of the hole: [url=http://img708.imageshack.us/i/img0804x.jpg/]ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting[/url] Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!Read More

Something is living in my ceiling and driving me quite insane. plz help

Hi. I am reaching out for some help here from an expert or anyone who has experience or may know. I will start at the beginning. For the LONGEST time when I was up late at night 1am-5am ish, in the kitchen, I would hear these weird sounds coming from the ceiling. It sounded to me like something was moving or crawling around. When I moved, it would move too! And I could hear it moving. It sounded as if it was moving in many different places though at once in the ceiling. It's been driving me insane, I first thought it was just the house creaking or cracking, but I can assure you it is not! No one else can hear it in my house but me! They just dismiss it as nothing.. It only happens at late at night as well and only in the kitchen usually only when I am awake at these late hours of the night. We have one of those ceilings that you can lift up a foot or so before the real ceiling. Now, I am praying to God that it is squirrels. But something else is telling me it is not squirrels. If it is squirrels or birds I can live with that, if it is bats or insects well, I will freak out. There are a bunch of squirrels next door that my neighbor feeds. They seem to always be around, the squirrels appear outside around 7 am. I don't know if these same squirrels could be living inside the ceiling somehow. This is what it sounds like as I can best describe it.. I walk downstairs move a couple things around and make some noise, then I hear a sound in the ceiling, like a moving sound. It sounds like something very small, but not just one thing unless it can move rather quick. It is also like whatever is moving up there has a mind because whatever it is I can sense it and it can sense me! I move, and the sound follows me! Like whatever it is is moving around the ceiling with me, following me in the kitchen, making more sounds. Almost as if it's trying to mess with my head. I am not delusional, there is seriously something in my ceiling that is moving around. Last night I think there are multiple things up there because it made sounds in different spots at once almost like it was choreographed! Please if anyone knows what it is please help me.Read More
