Too many sow bugs 😭

Guys. Guys help me. I love bugs as much as the rest of you, but I have A Problem. There are so. many. sow bugs. I love them and if it were summertime, I would escort them outside. But it's winter and they are everywhere. They're mostly in my bedroom and they don't scare me and I know they don't cause any sort of damage, but I still don't like them all over the place. They're especially in my bed, which is the worst. I think it's because my bed is on a wall with a window and that's where they're getting in. But STILL. That's the WORST PLACE FOR BUGS TO BE. I don't want to kill them all, but I can't deal with this forever. Do you guys know what I could do to deter them from entering my home/living in my bedroom? (I'm in SK Canada btw).

My Instagram is tiny.beetle.tattoos if anyone is interested in seeing more of my work!

What insects is this?

I found fossils / breaking-down insects inside A old computer monitor box inside the styrofoam of front and bottom of A new out-dated monitor I had sitting for 5+ years.

Any ideas as to what this is? I’m debating to throw the monitor away 😂

What kind of insect is this?

My brother found this dead insect that seems to be a wasp (?) in the yard and we don't know what kind of wasp or other bug it is. Can't find it online either. Any clue?

What are these?

I found these growing on my Morning Glory vines. Any idea what these are? Are they something I need to get rid of ASAP?

I have lost several crops to spider mites and after years of learning, I have perfected a way of eradicating them on my cannabis and strawberry plants. Here are some myths addressed and the complete steps I have taken to remove them permanently from my indoor garden.
