Silver Fish ?

[Mallarky]

Have found some silver fish in the bath, also in a kitchen cupboard ! I've carefully cleaned everything, but where have they come from? Can you get infections from them? How do I get rid of them?
What worked for you?

wow i haven't seen those for years! i used to have one that lived in my stickle bricks when i was little! lol

I've seen one in the house we've just moved into, in the kitchen... are they nasty little things?

They like damp places, you can buy a spray to get rid of them.

they're only insects, they aren't dangerous .. cleaning them up won't get rid of them though you'd need an insecticide

here you go oops!

What sort of insecterside twig? have a four yr old?

no idea .. just thought insects - insecticide IYKWIM

Just read somewhere you can try placing whole cloves in the cupboards.

My dd has had a headache in her tummy the last few days and I am worried that she has picked up some sort of tummy bug through these

she's just got a tummy bug

don't over-react

they have been around for aeons and noone has died from them yet

try Raid it works - tried it

Your right Twig's I'm being daft
I'll be at the ironmongers first thing sleepysu!

Thanks soo much!

I found 3 of these running around in the dogs bowl tonight, they couldn't climb out. I didn't want to throw them down the sink plug hole so I chucked them out the street door instead!

I remember them in a corner of our kitchen when we were kids. Funnily enough the the cats food bowl. They came out in the evening. The cat would generally spot them and try catching them. Dont suppose you have a cat who can eat them have you?

My mum has a cat but I don't think I'll borrow him!
I almost didn't see them, I was just about to put the meat in the bowl. They were sitting very still so I didn't realise what they were at first. I have also seen a few of them just under the heater. I must remember to get something to get rid of them.

We've had them for years in our bathroom. I've never even thought about getting rid of them, they are harmless.
