How many bugs are living in your home?

The title article in my hospital's community health newsletter this week:
"How many bugs are living in your home? "

Yeah, we saw here in Italy a same service just few days ago. IMO nothing new, sometimes they jumps out talking about the millions of "invisible" bugs that lives within our house.

I suppose only on my Persian carpets...? Christ, millions. But definitely better than certain Ladies that keeps "WhatsApp" you with their boring crap, for that those innocent bugs at least enjoy quiet, like me :-s

Sorry, I should have used a big ROFL emoticon. I just found this humurous because to us, it means something totally different.

Wild, free range bugs, probably millions.
Arachnids, about 80 captives, hundreds to thousands of wild natives.
Surveillance type bugs, hopefully none.

Do in-laws count? If yes, I am expecting a huge infestation this December....
