That is PRICELESS! Although you know, I have a theory about how they got in there and it’s based experience. You see, both of my sons have worked for me- ones moved on the other is actually working during this break in school. Both boys enjoy riding with me and the job but they also love playing a favorite prank on me– gum, paper, coins etc .always seem to end up in my coffee mug when my backs turned and that’s always good for a morning filled with laughter– lololol — There’s, not mine… sooooo, does your son smirk uncontrollably when he “reminds” you of this story? hahahahah– Just saying

I’m really glad I found your site today! Full of entertaining and useful information. I see you are Ocala, I am in Palm Coast. I hope you won’t mind but I just have to share this silly story that my son loves to remind me of all the time (though I’d rather forget!) A few years ago when we lived in Utah, I drank some orange juice right out of the fridge directly out of the container (I didn’t pour it into a glass first) and I felt something moving around in my mouth. I frantically spit out the juice into an empty cup and there were two ear wigs in the cup with the orange juice I had just spat out. They were in my mouth! Ack! I wasn’t pinced as far as I could tell, just very grossed out. To this day I have no idea how they found their way into a closed orange juice container in my fridge or how on earthy they didn’t die in there. My son was there, saw the whole thing so thankfully I have a witness or I don’t know if I’d even believe it if it hadn’t happened to me. Needless to say I don’t drink directly out of containers anymore just in case.

I don’t really have a question, but I just spent the past half hour freaking out about the pincered creature I found in my shower loofah right after I finished scrubbing my whole body with it. It’s really awful seeing those pincers and knowing you’d just been rubbing them on your face. Thanks for the info, though. I’m still super grossed out, but at least I know what it was. It’s calming knowing that it’s not dangerous. And oh, look, there’s a tiny cockroach. Just what I need.

Ok I will do that! Every night I mop my floor ad ever morning o wake up to thes droppings along my kitchen wall that’s closest to the back yard! I don’t ever see any bugs during the day so it has to be something that comes out during the night.

Hi Rosanna,
No, not that I’m aware of– I guess it’s possible but it wouldn’t seem to me to be a established thing. Send me a pic via my Ask The Bug Doctor page. You can upload one & I’ll take a look. http://pestcemetery.com/bug-doctor/

Probably a fluke- I wouldn’t give it another thought.

My husband was getting the ingredients out to make a sandwich and found one of these creepy little monsters on the mayo jar!! How the heck did it get INSIDE my fridge? I keep a spotless house and have not seen one of these anywhere else in my house… Should I be worried?
