we have spiders and harvestmen in abundance, but the rest is not something you will see in a house here.
maybe you’d see isopods in a garage because they caught a ride on something you brought in from the garden, but there’s not much for them to eat so you’d likely see them dead not long after…
I have never in my life heard of people having millipedes, slugs, beetles, or cockroaches in their house in sweden, that makes it sound like your homes are absolutely filthy for them to have stuff to eat. Also pretty sure the scandinavian peninsula just doesn’t have cockroaches, i have yet to see one in real life outside of captivity.
Define filth. What we call spoiled food is great for basically all the critters entering our houses. That’s where the stigma comes from - if you don’t really clean your kitchen and leave scraps and crumbs in narrow spaces, that’s where they will feast.
While I’ve yet to see cockroaches in the wild in Germany, ants inside the house can be prevented by just cleaning regularly (and not even obsessively).
It’s not like lice for example, that really don’t care how often you wash yourself and infect anyone with long enough hair.

Except that insects don’t really like filth especially cockroaches. That’s all stigma.
But no you absolutely have critters around you just don’t acknowledge lol.
bro i’m not saying we don’t have bugs, i’m saying those bugs are all spiders and flies
