Thats what it looks like, didnt get a good look at it...

Well i've seen two of these in my bathroom.

What is it? It's small, bigger than an ant. It crawls.

How do i get rid of it?

Answer 1

It looks like a centipede just spray it with bug spray or just step on it.

Answer 2

Roach or maybe silverfish.

Answer 3

Ok well if this is a serious question....

It could be a carpenter ant.  They are bigger than normal ants and they are black.  They can be seen near water (ie your bathroom...).  If you do have them, you need to call an exterminator because they eat wood.  They can ruin your home.

Answer 4

haha, u drew it???lame!!! ;) well, it looks like one of those "rolley poley" bugs, but why post a question on yahoo answers about a bug u could just kill? i bet you are under 13?

Answer 5

kill it with bug spray or call an insect exterminator to do it for u

Answer 6

It's a House centipede. They are gross.. and nasty. I have these too.

Pretty much you don't get rid of them. They like moist environments and mind their own business. They usually (ha ha) come out at night and eat spiders, etc. They are said to be good pests because they eat all the nasties.

Get this, they live anywhere from 3-7 years depending on their environment. That sure does make one feel better doesn't it?

"Techniques for eliminating centipedes from the home include drying up the areas where they thrive, eliminating large indoor insect populations, sealing cracks in the walls, and seeking the assistance of an exterminator."

Answer 7

Centipede, roach, silverfish? Get some bug spray, unless there is a colony that should do the trick.

House Centipede Control  

Suggestions or Questions? Check our Pest Control Forum.

Kill centipedes or capture them on sight—if you can. Their rigid bodies and freakishly long, numerous legs make them very fast. But centipedes don’t usually invade homes in enormous numbers, so if you don’t see them often and you eliminate the one you’re looking at, you may have just taken care of your centipede problem. If you don’t want to kill the centipede, but you want it out of your space, you can capture it in a jar and take it outside. Otherwise, spraying it with an aerosol insecticide that claims to kill centipedes—or simply squishing it—will do the trick.  

  

Get rid of other small household pests, and centipedes will move to someone else’s house, where there’s more to eat.

  

Keep your house dry. Centipedes dry out and die if they don’t stay in a moist environment, so if you clean up damp closets and basements, and use dehumidifiers, centipedes will find a more hospitable place to live.  

  

Use sticky traps. Put them in corners along the floorboards, where centipedes often hunt, and the traps will capture not only centipedes, but house insects as well. This will help you determine which other pests you need to eliminate, to deprive the centipedes of prey.

  

Close off entrance points. Keep centipedes from entering your house in the first place by sealing cracks in the foundation and concrete walls, eliminating spaces around doors and windows, and covering basement floor drains with window screen.

Chemical Centipede Extermination

If you aren’t satisfied with just keeping these creepy-crawlies out of your space, and you want to know how to kill centipedes, keep reading. If your only beef is with centipedes inside your house, you can put a powdered residual insecticide such as Drione in the places where centipedes usually hide, like in wall cracks, dark corners of the basement, crawl spaces, and under furniture. Keep in mind that centipedes will have to walk across an insecticide accidentally; because they usually go after moving prey, they aren’t susceptible to baits. You can discourage centipedes from even going near your home by coating the bottom few feet of the side of your house, and soaking at least a five-foot band of soil around the house, with an outdoor residual spray insecticide such as Talstar or Demon WP. If you don’t even want to encounter centipedes in your yard, be sure to spray the whole lawn and any mulch you use for gardening or landscaping. Remember, though, that insecticides alone will only work temporarily. If your yard and house are still cluttered, damp, and full of tasty bugs, the centipedes will find you again.
