I keep finding these things in my house and don't know what the hell they are. What do they eat, what eats them?

Ahh, sorry, missed your link. Looks like they should be relatively easy to get rid of... sticky traps ftw!

Silverfish.
They'll eat nearly anything that's plant-based. I think they'll even eat glue in bookbindings.

45 minutes apparently
That's a house centipede, not a silverfish.

And their critter-killing abilities are pathetic.

Wandering African Ass Beetle. Basically, it lays eggs up asses and causes ass disease and the dreaded ass fungus where mushrooms grow out your ass. Glue your anus shut tonight

Good luck.

I did this because I was going off the information you had provided. I had to get surgery to remove the glue.

You will hear from my lawyer in the morning.

Silverfish. They've been around for hundreds of millions of years and if found in your house they are probably eating paper.

AHA!! Paper didn't exist millions of years ago. Obviously, this proves that intelligent design is 100% true.
