There's a very high chance you have dead insects just a few feet from you inside a wall or under a floor board, amirite?

You're never more than 6 feet from a spider

Or on your own body.

As long as they stay dead and don't make their presence known to me in any way

So?

Looks at the collection of dead bugs in the overhead light…

What are you trying to say?

I use their bodies as effigies to deter their friends.

Dust mites are everywhere probably eating on your skin right now.

I don't care about the dead ones.
It's the live  ones.
