Can you indentify this creature???
27 Answers
I keep finding these small slithering creature's all over my flat, mainly in my bath but they are also in my kitchen cupboards and i caught one bombing it under the gap in the laminated flooring, i put the bath plug in my bath, thinking that they maybe coming up through that but they still end up in my bath so maybe they are appearing from somewhere else but ending up in my bath? i have just took a picture of one http://

They are absolutely harmless. They like damp places. They don't do any damage, but obviously you want rid of them. Have you got a damp garage or shed. They should be OK.

It's nice that someone doesn't automatically step on things they don't want in the house, like spiders, silverfish, etc. Well done. Kev.

Many thanks for your super fast help peeps, looks like im plagued with Silverfish lol, i live in an old house victorian house thats converted into four flats, private ground floor flat and although it looks lovely, i think that it is full of damp underneath the laminated flooring but the landlord has just done it all up so that the damp spots are covered over and it looks nice etc, im outta here soon as i cant be doing with finding these all the time, and because i dont believe in killing anything, i always end up letting them go through a little hole in a cupboard in my bathroom that looks as though it leads to the bathroom next door! ha probably making them breed more than ever! ha thanks again everybody. im impressed and greatful for your speedy replies! ;)

2shortplanks, totally agree with you mate! had my suspicions about the damp a few times through patches coming through the wallpaper here an there, my landlord is money mad and hasn't even put Central heating in so im gonna get onto her this week and demand Central heating or im gone!! its not too bad in the Summer but the Winter is rough ride! maybe Central heating will sort the damp out, but if not im gone anyway as it is £100 a week which is quite a lot for this area and it wouldn't cost much more for one of these new fancy apartments that are being built everywhere.
Thanks Lofty, its my first flat since i left my mums house a couple of year's ago and i do love it there and ive made great friends with my neighbours above me but its such a shame that the damp is a proving to be a problem as i would hate to have to move but will see what the landlord has to say about Central heating, the neighbours are also gonna demand it, so people power should prevail! ha Ladybirder i have forgotton how to change avatar? i remember it being a real nuisance just getting an avatar up on here in the first place lol can u direct me to the instructions please? ta ;)
