What are these bugs in my bathroom?

Question

lately ive been seeing these silver slivery insects in my bathroom at first i thought they were silver fish but after seeing photos of them (even some that were shot from far away) it doesnt look like those.... my question is what are they if not silver fish??? no matter what they are where do they come from?? do they bite how do i get rid of them??

Answer 1

yes there are different silverfish. They tend to like damp places (like bathrooms and basements) They don't bite or anything.

They main thing is to keep moisture out of the bathroom as much as possible. After a shower be sure to put the fan on(if it has one usually on the ceiling or high on a wall)

And make sure neither the sink or "Throne" have any type of leaks.(If there is a cabinet under the sink take everything out and see if anything is in there (dampness or bugs) And never leave damp towels on the floor or in as hamper -hang to dry.To get rid of them I just use raid spray once and they are gone.  Oh..just to make sure check the kitchen sink for  moisture on the floor too  You will be fine!!

Answer 3

Are you sure they aren't silver fish? They like it where it is cool and wet. So bathrooms are the perfect place.  I don't know if it is true or not but my mother used to tell me that they came up from the pipes. Like I said I don't actually know if that is the case or not but here is a couple links about them.  They usually don't get too numerous but you can kill them with the same stuff that kills cockroaches and water bugs.  When ever I have seen them they are silver in color but according to the pictures below they can be just about any color it looks like. They don't bite but if you have very many then they have probably been there for a while.  Sadly they can live without food for up to a year.

Answer 4

you probably live down south. I get them in my bathroom all the time. They're called silver fish, they can't harm you. They usually eat things like paper. They like to hide under towels

Answer 5

Silver fish is the most likely answer if you have found them in your bathroom.  They do no harm, they just like damp conditions.
