I live in the basement of my house, and there's bugs... they are black or brown, depending, and they have like these little horns. BUT the horns are at there end. I'm scared because I haven't cleaned under my bed in quite a bit, and I'm a teenager, so if you know one, this means the under of my bed is very very dirty. Could you please tell me what the bug is? If its harmless? And how to get rid of them. Also, this morning when I woke up, I saw a tan centipede looking thing crawl out from uunder my bed. But it had legs like a cricket. Am I imagining things? Please help me :/ <3
Thanks

You will probably hear from our pest expert, but from your description, the bugs with horns at their nether end I believe are earwigs. Not harmful, just annoying and ugly. Some basements are damp, earwigs love damp and so do centipedes. We get rid of earwigs here by rolling up dampened newspaper. They crawl in, you discard.
