Hello all.

SOMEBODY WHAT DO I DO A SILVERFISH JUST CRAWLED INTO MY KEYBOARD OH GOD NO THIS IS NOT A LIE IM GONNA CHUCK THIS COMPUTER OUT THE WINDOW AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

UPDATE: It crawled into the airvent right above the keyboard. It's not moving. I think it's dead. There is no clear way to remove it. I don't want a silverfish corpse in my keyboard vent guys... pls help ;-;

Mo' Updates: I can't see it anymore. I tried debugging. I tried asking it nicely. It's gone, I can't see it anymore. It either disapparated, flew away, or it most likely fell (or crawled) further down in my airvent.

R.I.P Silverfish friend... May your soul rest happily in my warm and soothing keyboard airvent.​

Start typing like a madman, it creates a fun game for the silverfish to play, silverfish love daring games that put their life on the line. After a while, the silverfish will grow sluggish and tired, and with heavy eyelids, it will just crawl out of the keyboard, and go home for a nap. While the silverfish is gone, put police tape around your keyboard. Since silverfish are usually law-abiding, it will leave when it comes back and sees that a crime had in fact been committed there.

Pros:
No more silverfish in the keyboard
Silverfish had fun
Your mad typing probably created a great story, one that will surely survive for millennia to come.

Cons:
Literally none.
 
Well... See the thing is it crawled into one of the airvents above the keyboard and.... It's not moving. I think it's dead. I don't want to have a silverfish corpse in my keyboard.

It's probably just taking a breather. It's a known fact that silverfish are immortal gods of this world, and thus can't die. Just start typing. He'll move to the groove of the keys. If that does not work, wait kindly for him to move, though don't say anything. After an hour, politely instruct the insect to leave, silverfish are usually very courteous.

i ask it to leave but he/she don wanna
 
Hmmm. Did you ask nicely, as instructed?
I did. And I can't see it anymore. It either apparated out, crawled away when I wasn't looking or, it most likely fell (or crawled) further into the vent. I've tried asking it nicely, I've tried debugging, but nothing works.

Hmmm. It's not listening? I don't think you're dealing with a silverfish, then. They're usually understanding about this sort of thing, and will often move when instructed. No.. not a silverfish.. I think you may be dealing with something worse, an Ear-wig, the assholes of the insect world. If it's in your computer, expect some sort of nasty email from it, or something
 
Check at least four timed when dealing with a dead silverfish. Little-known-fact, silverfish regenerate in a fashion similar to the legendary Phoenix, but with more defacating and less fire. This will cause minor tolethal computer damage, and I wwould suggest performing and exorcism to rid yourself of the pest.
 
What you need to do is… you need to get a spider to hunt it down and bring it out. Or a centipede, that'd be even better. Go find a centipede.

Yes this si good advice. However, I'd like to warn against the crab spider if you decide to go that route. Ear-wigs and crab spiders tend to get along really well. If you decide to go the route of the centipede, avoid any centipede that might be unfortunate enough to have the word 'Human' in it.

Human centipedes eat the most grossest things.. Or at least part of them do.
